Pioneers of Mobile Telephony
As far back as the 1950s and 60s, the Swedish Televerket (later Telia) was testing the predecessors of today's mobile telephony, but it was only at the beginning of 1960s that development came up to speed when the Swedish Televerket called all Nordic operators and suppliers to a meeting in Lofoten and presented a proposal for common guidelines for the future's mobile telephony.
This is the background of today's multinational TeliaSonera, with its 150 million customers in 20 countries, from Scandinavia to Nepal.
