TeliaSonera Sweden taking over Fortum’s telecom customers

TeliaSonera Sweden has signed an agreement with Fortum Markets to take over Fortum’s voice and Internet customers on the Swedish market. Fortum has nearly 37,000 telecom customers and the transfer will take effect on February 16, 2004.

Fortum has decided to focus its operations on delivering energy and is therefore phasing out its telecom operations in Sweden. The company’s approximately 30,000 voice customers will automatically be transferred to Telia, but Fortum’s Internet customers will receive an offer from Telia and make their own choices.

“This is a good deal for the customers, for Fortum and for Telia. The customers will move over to Sweden’s leading telecom company and will receive various welcome offers. They will continue to make calls at great rates when they become Telia customers,” says Indra Åsander, head of TeliaSonera Sweden’s Consumer Segment.

The transfer of voice customers will take effect on February 16 and Fortum’s current agreements with its Internet customers will expire on April 8. Affected customers will be notified in writing by Fortum, and Telia will send a welcome letter with offers including the services Telia Fritid and Telia Favorit.
