The acquisition will provide Telia Norway around 50,000 mobile customers if the competition authorities approve the purchase. 19659003] Last year, Telia Norway got the green light for the purchase of the Phonero mobile phone company, which had about 200,000 customers. At the start of the year, Telia Norway took over NextGenTel's mobile customers, which would be 34,000. On Friday, the Telia group announced Friday that the Norwegian mobile phone company had lost nearly 100,000 customers in the second quarter by report at the same time this year.

– Underlying customer development shows some improvement, but we are not happy. We do not have a customer to lose. We will work hard to strengthen the customer base, "said Foss.

At the end of June, the company had 2,335,000 mobile customers

Foss points out that they did not expect all Phonero customers to move on the Telia network.

– We calculated that, and now we're done with migration. He succeeded, says Foss.

He notes that from the first to the second quarter the customer base was 7,000 and that the average monthly income per customer has slightly increased to 257 crowns

– Competition in the mobile market is difficult. Economically speaking, I want to characterize the second quarter as solid, says Foss.

Telia Norge realized an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of 910 million revenue in the second quarter of just over 2.5 billion. It gives an EBITDA margin of 35.8% versus 34.5% for the corresponding period of last year. (Terms)
