TeliaSonera and their partner for UMTS services in Sweden, Tele2, agreed to purchase Orange’s 3G spectrum license for just SEK50M. The two purchasers, who jointly hold one spectrum license, said they expect that the additional spectrum will make it easier to roll out services and will provide needed capacity because “we believe the mobile Internet—e-mail and Web surfing from mobile phones—is going to go over big with our customers.” Orange, who won the license in a beauty contest award, abandoned the Swedish market after regulators refused to grant an extension to the rollout deadline.
