Skanova Access meets Swedish telecom operators' infrastructure needs on equal
terms 

TeliaSonera's new telecom infrastructure company will launch operations in
Sweden on January 1, 2008. The company by the name of TeliaSonera Skanova Access
AB will be TeliaSonera's wholly-owned subsidiary. By establishing Skanova
Access, TeliaSonera ensures that the market's requirements for transparency and
control are met.  

The company will employ more than 700 people. Net sales generated by the
corresponding operations in 2007 are estimated to amount to about SEK 7 billion.

The chairman of the Board of Directors of Skanova Access will be Anders Bruse,
who also serves as the head of TeliaSonera Broadband Services. 

Anders Gylder, currently Senior Vice President of Broadband Services, will
assume responsibility as the CEO of Skanova Access. Anders Gylder, who has been
responsible for the establishment of Skanova Access, will head the company
during its first operating period, ensuring that the new work flows and
processes between the company and its customers and vendors are in place.  

Skanova Access will sell copper and copper-related infrastructure on the same
commercial terms to all operators on the Swedish market, including TeliaSonera's
own end-customer operations. 

The recruitment of a new CEO, who is to further develop the company after the
first operating period, will begin during the spring of 2008. The aim is to have
the new CEO in place in the third quarter of 2008.

In connection with the founding of Skanova Access, a body called Equality Access
Board (EAB) will also be set up. The aim of EAB is to supervise equal treatment
independently of TeliaSonera, and to monitor the market's confidence in Skanova
Access and the company's ability to live up to its commitments. EAB will be
composed of chairman Mikael Svensson, head of TeliaSonera's Internal Audit, and
two members independent of TeliaSonera. The supervision will be based on the
reporting of certain key figures audited by external auditors.
