Telia has also positioned itself by merging two units, TeliaSonera and Tele2. This has, according to managing director Foss, been to build size, expertise and position in the market.

As a result of this phases they like Tele2, focusing on the four brands that the company has chosen to focus on further.

brand, divided into four
to appeal to a broad demographic then Telia decided to focus on four brands that hit various customer groups.

First here are Chess, the cool and youthful provider. To emphasize this drawn X Games and forth that Chess was the main sponsor of the Games.

Other brand name out there economical option, One Call, which is intended for those who put cost ahead of extended functionality.

the third is Lebara Group, formerly Lebara, who is the cash option for those who make frequent calls to foreign countries.

Last but not least comes Telia, which the company has chosen to focus on as its Premium Brand. This is a vocabulary that recurred several times. There is, clearly that they want to differentiate Telia from the rest of their products, and that business is going to be an important satningsområde on.

Many of us have gone on “roaming bang” at some time, in small or larger degree. So it is clear that this is a major cash cow that Telia let go.
Asked what this change cost the company in lost roaming revenues, reluctant Foss to give any specific figures.

– What I can say is that this represents a significant investment for us, but we see that this could help to make us more attractive to our customers, says Foss.

In the survey, users asked about their relationship to data traffic and use of this traveling. As many as 87 percent said that they turn off the computer before they leave the country, and 47 percent believed that the smartphone was the main thing we took with us on the road.

– We have asked 1,000 people about what is important for when they are traveling, and perhaps worth noting that three times as many think that the smart phone is more important than the toothbrush, commenting waterfall.
