TELE2 SIGNS AN MVNO AGREEMENT WITH ORANGE IN FRANCE
Tele2 France today signed an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) agreement of the ESP (Enhanced Service Provider) type with Orange France.Tele2 is pleased to launch a mobile offering in France, bringing the French mobile telephony consumers the simplicity and low prices that has made Tele2 France so successful in fixed telephony and ADSL. It will use all the brand experience and marketing know-how developed in Tele2’s existing MVNO and mobile operations throughout Europe.Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, CEO of Tele2 said; “Tele2 is delighted to end our regulatory conflict with Orange in such a positive way, which will allow us to provide our customers with mobile services before the end of 2005. France is a large country. Our success there will have a major impact, and might pave the way for openings in other countries where we do not have mobile operations yet.”CONTACTSLars-Johan Jarnheimer, Telephone: + 46 8 562 640 00President and CEO, Tele2 ABHåkan Zadler, Telephone: + 46 8 562 640 00CFO, Tele2 ABDwayne Taylor, Telephone: + 44 20 7321 5038Lena Krauss, Telephone: + 46 8 562 000 45 Investor enquiriesVisit us at our homepage: http://www.Tele2.com
