Disadvantages of Packet switching
It can add some initial costs in implementation.
Possible long wait to establish a connection, (10 seconds, more on long- distance or international calls.) during which no data can be transmitted.
More expensive than any other switching techniques, because a dedicated path is required for each connection
Inefficient use of the communication channel, because the channel is not used when the connected systems are not using it
