Prosjektperioden ble avsluttet 1.7.2002, og KOSTRA er nå i fullskala drift. KOSTRAs siktemål er tosidig: • Å frambringe relevant, pålitelig og sammenlignbar styringsinformasjon om kommunenes prioriteringer, produktivitet og dekningsgrader. • Å samordne og effektivisere rutinene og løsningene for utveksling av data, slik at statlige og kommunale myndigheter sikres rask og enkel tilgang til data. Rapporteringshåndboken skal være et hjelpemiddel for å sikre at datautvekslingen mellom kommunene og staten blir mest mulig effektiv, slik at begge parter raskere får tilgang til aktuelle data. Det er niende året en slik rapporteringshåndbok lages. De statlige myndigheter henter inn både tjenestedata og økonomidata. Tjenestedataene skal i størst mulig grad innhentes fra offentlige registre og i lokale forvaltningssystemer ute på tjenestestedene. Tjenestedataene kobles sammen med

    Telenor Fra verk til Børs Eller fra forvaltning til pengemaskin Roar Eilertsen Stein Stugu Februar 2007 De Facto Kunnskapssenter for fagorganiserte Forord Denne rapporten om Telenor, ”Fra verk til børs” er utarbeidet av De Facto – Kunnskapssenter for fagorganiserte på oppdrag fra EL & IT Forbundet høsten 2006/vinteren 2007. I arbeidet med rapporten har EL & IT Forbundet og de tillitsvalgte i Telenor stilt et omfattende arkivmateriale til vår disposisjon. I tillegg har vi snakket med mange tillitsvalgte og ledere, både innenfor og utenfor dagens Telenor. Vi benytter anledningen til å takke alle som har bidratt med opplysninger og stilt opp til diskusjoner i vårt arbeid med rapporten. Spesielt vil vi takke forbundssekretær Henning Solhaug og konserntillitsvalgt for EL & IT i Telenor, Per Gunnar Salomonsen, som begge har vært viktige tilretteleggere, døråpnere og diskusjonspartnere gjennom hele denne prosessen. Målsettingen med rapporten har vært å oppsummere og analysere viktige erfaringer som fagbevegelsen og de ansatte i Telenor har hatt med de dramatiske og krevende omstillingene de har vært gjennom de siste 10-15-årene. Veien fra det engang så trauste og tradisjonstunge Televerket til dagens internasjonaliserte børsgigant Telenor ASA har (også) vært preget av en nærmest kontinuerlig prosess for å svekke fagbevegelsens stilling og innflytelse og i det fortsatt statseide storkonsernet.

We are mapping, planning and preparing ourselves and the societies we serve for yet another technology shift to continue moving us forward.

The number of subscriptions in our mobile operations increased by 30 million, reaching 143 million, ranking Telenor as the world’s 7th largest mobile operator. In November, the last remaining injunction against Kyivstar was lifted. The financial information from Kyivstar confirmed our earlier estimates. In the fourth quarter, Kyivstar continued its impressive performance with high revenue growth combined with solid EBITDA and cash flow margins. In Norway, we are disappointed with the performance of our mobile operation in this quarter. The current cost base is not sustainable in today’s competitive market, thus cost efficiency measures will be implemented during 2008.
