TeliaSonera and Tele2 buys Swedish 3G license
January 5, 2004
The company Svenska UMTS-nat AB, jointly owned by TeliaSonera and Tele2,
has agreed with Orange Sverige AB to purchase the fourth 3G license in
Sweden.
"We believe the mobile Internet - email and web surfing from mobile phones
- is going to go over big with our customers. And when it does, we will
need the extra capacity that this license gives us", says Marie Ehrling,
CEO of TeliaSonera Sweden.
TeliaSonera and Tele2 already share one license through the jointly-owned
Svenska UMTS-nat AB. The new license will not change the modalities of
their cooperation.
Orange Sverige AB today applied to PTS, the National Post and Telecom
Agency, for permission to assign a license under the new Electronic Communications
Act to Svenska UMTS-nat AB. At the same time TeliaSonera and Tele2 notified
the Swedish Competition Authority of their intentions.
In order to comply with the terms of the new license, Svenska UMTS-nat
will expand its network in Sweden's metropolitan areas. The costs for
the license and the extra build-out will be covered by the existing loan
facility. The cost of the extra build-out will be less than the efficiency
gains that are realized since the investment in extra frequencies can
replace a more concentrated infrastructure.
The final closing of the deal is contingent on the approval of the transaction
by the authorities and the approval of the Boards of all involved companies.
