Copenhagen, Denmark - Telenor and Telia have signed a managed services contract with Nokia that will see the company manage
their joint mobile radio network in Denmark. The agreement will allow Telia and Telenor to offer customers of Denmark's largest

Today we have a world-class mobile network, and this step to have Nokia manage it for us will ensure we also have the best network
in five or ten years. Therefore, I am pleased that we have concluded a solid agreement with one of the world's most powerful
network providers."

new level, and Nokia will help us do that. They have the necessary expertise, capacity and know-how in the area that will ensure
the most optimal operation and making our network ready for the future."
Igor Leprince, president of Global Services, Nokia, said: "Telia and Telenor are focused on exceeding the requirements of
their customers. In selecting their new managed services provider, the operators highlighted the need for experience, quality,
capacity and, not least, security. Nokia will provide the two operators services that will allow them to deliver the best
experience to their customers."
