We became the first operator in the world to launch commercial next-generation mobile broadband by opening 4G networks in Stockholm and Oslo on December 14, 2009. This was followed shortly with 4G rollouts to Finland (Helsinki and Turku), Denmark (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg) and Estonia (Tallinn, Tartu and Kohila) in 2010. In the Eurasia region, we have deployed pilot 4G networks in Lithuania, Latvia and Uzbekistan in 2010 as well.
