TeliaSonera January-March 2008

The number of subscriptions for broadband access rose by 280,000 from the end of the first quarter 2007, to 2,368,000. Meanwhile broadband ARPU was affected by price erosion and decreased to SEK 268 as broadband access remained the key revenue source.

The number of fixed voice subscriptions declined by 272,000 year-on-year to 6,121,000.

The total number of TV subscriptions rose to 797,000, of which more than 400,000 were IPTV subscriptions. In Sweden alone, the successful push for IPTV resulted in a rise of 236,000 new subscriptions year-on-year to 318,000. From year-end 2007 to the end of the first quarter, the number of IPTV subscriptions in Sweden increased by 14,000, a slowdown compared to previous quarters due to increased churn and because the conversion from analogue to digital broadcasting came to an end in the fourth quarter 2007.

The number of broadband access subscriptions increased by 42,000 from year-end 2007 to the end of the first quarter, while the number of fixed voice subscriptions fell by 97,000.
