TeliaSonera and Elisa have settled arbitration dispute

TeliaSonera Mobile Networks AB (former Telia Mobile) and Elisa’s subsidiary Radiolinja Origo Ltd have settled the disputes relating to the service provider agreement in Telia Mobile’s divested business in Finland.

The settlement ends the arbitration procedure, which begun in 2002, in which Telia Mobile Finland (sold since the merger between Telia and Sonera) and Radiolinja, claimed damages from each other. The parties have agreed not to disclose the settlement amount.

The impact of the settlement is accounted for in 2003 and is included in the result of the sale of Telia Mobile Finland.
