Press release Tele2 Group Dec 13 2007, 10:55 AM CET

3G license allocated to Tele2's network company in Norway

Stockholm - Tele2 AB, ("Tele2"), (OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm: TEL2 A and TEL2 B), announced today that the company's jointly owned network company Mobile Norway AS (formerly AMI AS) has been allocated a 3G license in Norway.
Mobile Norway, that was allocated the new 3G-license, is 50/50 owned by Tele2 Norway and Network Norway. Phase one of the joint venture build-out of Norway's third GSM network is ongoing, and the 3G-license will further enhance the network. The network will under the license terms cover at least 40 percent of the population within six years. The license fee, which will be recorded in December 2007, is approximately MNOK 47. Tele2 will launch commercial services on the jointly owned network in the beginning of 2010.
 
Niclas Palmstierna, Market Area Director Nordic, comments; "This new 3G license enables us to increase the efficiency of the network build out by rolling out both GSM and 3G already in phase one. The license allocation also means that we will offer our customers 3G services such as mobile broadband, of course as the price leader."
