| germany is i think 3rd or 4th most biggest economy in the world. and this was not based on having english as main language, we speak german, and a little bit of se english länguitsch. most german internet shops dont have the english option and this didnt keep us from making business still. i dont see the point how a mobile fon contract in english would change that to...make CH more competitive? i mean...you are here, right?
to click on coop homepage for the goods you want, to find out that strasse means street, adresse address...wow! this mess really needs to be changed! immediately! how else the oversmart people with the big rolling cash can contribute to the economy, consuming? get a petition up!

Germany - totally different economy to Switzerland. Germany - 82 million people, 91.5% of whom are ethnic Germans. Switzerland 7.7m people speaking all sorts of languages.
Germany has an abundance of workers (high unemployment) and is a high tax environment.
Switzerland has to continually import workers and is a low tax environment.
The continued success of Switzerland is dependent on attracting the best and brightest from the rest of the world. This will be in jeopardy if the people are made more welcome in other such economies e.g. Singapore, UAE via the widespread availability of English.
