STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 8, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Vodafone Sverige AB and Denmark's leading mobile operator, TDC Mobil A/S (NYSE:TLD), have signed a collaboration agreement concerning sales and marketing activities that will target major corporate customers in Sweden and Denmark. The agreement is a result of the partnership agreement signed by the Vodafone Group (NYSE:VOD) and TDC Mobile A/S in December 2001.
The demand for mobile communication services is on the increase in the Nordic market as Danish and Swedish companies continue to build increasingly strong Nordic organisations.
"Our collaboration with TDC enables us to co-ordinate the mobile solutions offered to customers who operate in both Denmark and Sweden," said Jon Risfelt, President and CEO of Vodafone Sweden. "The agreement with TDC serves as an excellent complement to the collaboration we have enjoyed with Finnish operator Radiolinja since last summer."
"This collaboration agreement will consolidate the positions of both TDC and Vodafone Sweden in the Nordic market, and we are delighted to be initiating an active collaboration with Vodafone Sweden," said Peter Ibsen, Senior Vice President, TDC Mobil A/S.
