The leading supplier of telecom services
TeliaSonera is the leading supplier of telecom services in the Baltic countries. The first investment in the region was made in 1991 in Estonia, where TeliaSonera is the majority shareholder in the mobile operator EMT and the fixed network operator Elion. The companies are both leaders in their respective markets.
The Estonian market is the most developed of the three Baltic telecom markets.
The mobile market is very dynamic. Competition is well developed with three established mobile operators. Penetration is quickly approaching levels equal to those of the Nordic countries.
The fixed network market in Estonia was deregulated in 2001. Penetration is low and has been steady at about 35 percent in recent years. Fixed network companies in the Baltics face competition primarily from the mobile sector and from cable TV companies.
