“Regulatory intervention, intense competition and customer migration remain the primary challenges.”
Lars Nyberg, President and CEO, TeliaSonera
TeliaSonera believes fixed lines will provide the most efficient access for many years to service fixed locations, such as offices or homes in regions where fixed networks already exist. Wireless technologies are being implemented for increased coverage and reach in all our markets and where fixed network presence is not economically feasible.
TeliaSonera offers telecommunication services in the Nordic and Baltic countries, the emerging markets of Eurasia, including Russia and Turkey, and in Spain. Trends are in many ways similar in the emerging markets and more developed markets. But there are differences. With less developed fixed line infrastructure and mobile markets only partially penetrated, the growth potential in emerging markets lies in growing the customer base significantly and increasing mobile usage.
Simplicity drives mobile data usage
