TeliaSonera offers services that help people and companies communicate in an easy, efficient and not least environmentally friendly way. Demand for being able to connect anytime and anywhere is growing constantly, be it for entertainment, socializing or work. The reasons are many and among them the opportunity to work more flexible hours, make time for other things, save time and money otherwise spent on travelling and reduce the negative impact on the environment.
All our business areas showed higher sales 2007. During the year we invested in future growth by expanding our presence in Eurasia to new markets, building our brand Yoigo in Spain and offering IP-based services with the ambition to migrate our fixed-voice customer base.
