The second largest supplier of mobile and broadband services

TeliaSonera is the second largest supplier of mobile services in Norway and offers a complete range of services for businesses and consumers. The services are marketed under the NetCom and Chess brands.

In 2006, TeliaSonera entered the broadband market through the acquisition of NextGenTel, the second largest supplier of broadband services in Norway.

Like in the neighboring Nordic and Baltic countries, the mobile market in Norway is well developed with high penetration and the broadband market is growing.

Most characteristic for the Norwegian mobile market is the extensive usage of non-voice services, and TeliaSonera’s customers are among the top users of MMS and SMS in Europe.

The data in the tables refers to 2008. For additional financial information, please refer to TeliaSonera's 2008 Annual Report.

NetCom is the second largest mobile operator in Norway. The company has a nationwide mobile network and a complete range of mobile services for consumers and businesses. The percentage of postpaid and business subscriptions is increasing, which is reflected in the high average revenue per customer.

The company has successfully developed mobile solutions for businesses and households that replace traditional fixed communication, and the company is a driving force in the ongoing migration from fixed to mobile services.

Simplicity for customers is a prioritized area and NetCom has received several distinctions for its simplicity and clarity in its communications with the market.

NetCom uses primarily external retailers.
