Key legal question
Whether the contractual ownership arrangement for the cable duct infrastructure violated Art. 37(1) FMG
Extracted holding
Art. 37(1) FMG did not prohibit a contractual arrangement whereby the canton acquires ownership of a cable duct block built by the telecom operator.
Extracted reasoning
The provision does not exclusively reserve ownership to the operator; it also allows acquisition from third parties and does not exclude that a road owner has infrastructure built by another party for its own ownership.
