Scandinavian Fraternisation in Telenor Scandinavian fraternisation in Telenor It will be less expensive to be a travelling Scandinavian in Telenor's network. Today, Telenor launches the additional service Ring Scandinavia - a new offer to business customers in Norway with a high share of mobile roaming traffic in Scandinavia. Telenor is simultaneously gathering the companies in Scandinavia under one brand and offering its services to around 7 million customers in the region. "Our customers have the desired benefits from us operating in Sweden and Denmark, and we are now offering an additional service that reduces the mobile costs for these customers," says Abraham Foss, head of business markets at Telenor Norway. High volumes of roaming traffic Sweden and Denmark currently account for approximately 30 per cent of the total roaming voice traffic. It is therefore important that Telenor has a good offer for our customers in Scandinavia. Having our own companies in Sweden and Denmark enables us to provide an attractive offer in the Telenor network in Scandinavia. Broad customer base Ring Scandinavia is Telenor's first additional service for roaming voice traffic, and is aimed at business customers with large traffic volumes in Scandinavia. The low monthly charge means that the service will appeal to a broad customer base. In practice, it will benefit customers with around 20 minutes of outgoing traffic in Scandinavia per month.

The service is available for all business customers with a post-paid voice subscription.

  • Telenor and BBC World Service Enter Agreement for Digital Broadcasting
    Telenor and BBC World Service enter agreement for digital broadcasting Telenor-owned Norkring has entered into an agreement with the BBC World Service for digital broadcasting over short wave, DRM. As part of the agreement, the BBC will be among the first in the world to broadcast over DRM. From Norkring's transmitting station at Kvitsøy, signals will be broadcast to Central Europe. This new agreement with the BBC is an important step in the digitalisation of short wave, which actually has the capacity to achieve global reach. The agreement involves broadcast of the radio channel BBC World Service "English for Europe" for an initial period of 18 months. The BBC is also using UK-based transmitters owned and operated by VT Communications (VTC) to provide a multi-frequency network aimed at Benelux and neighbouring countries. "For us this as an exciting partnership with one of the world's leading broadcasters. The BBC is a driving force within DRM, and contributes to set the standard for the future role of short wave," said sales and marketing director at Norkring, Per Maltun. The first major test will be the launch of receivers for DRM at the world's largest exhibition for consumer electronics, the IFA in Berlin 2-7 September 2005. About DRM DRM is short for Digital Radio Mondiale, a new digital radio standard specifically designed for use in short wave, medium wave and long wave bands. A worldwide consortium, consisting of all the leading broadcasters from all five continents, is responsible for the development of the DRM standard, which is now being implemented across the globe.

Please find our answers to the questions from the Authority below: 1. Please explain why the facility licences for all multiplexes (i.e. Riksblokka I, Regionalblokka, Riksblokka II and Lokalradioblokka) have been awardedfor a 17- year period. In particular, the Authority invites the Norwegian Government to explain the reasons why this licence period is considered “appropriate ” pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/20/EC on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services (OJL 108, 24.4.2002, p.21). According to Directive 2009/140/EC, article 5 (2) the length of the licence period shall take into consideration: "the service concerned in view of the objective pursued taking due account o f the need to allow for an appropriate period for investment amortisation. " The licences will last until 2031 in order to allow for amortisation of the investments necessary to build a DAB- network. As we highlighted in our answer to question no 9 in our letter of 18 March 2016, Norway's topography and settlement pattern requires the world's most extensive DAB- network serving a population of only 5 million.
