"The Nordic and Baltic region is very much the cradle of digitalization and has the potential to lead the way in the so called 4thindustrial revolution. As a New Generation Telco, Telia Company is well positioned to thrive and drive societies where we operate to take steps into the future, by bringing new and relevant services to both enterprise customers and consumers. We are excited about these opportunities! While transforming the company we are focused on delivering solid results in our core operations. In the second quarter, organic service revenues were flat and EBITDA increased 5.1 percent year-on-year, propelled by higher earnings in 7 out of 8 markets. In Sweden, service revenue growth stayed positive in the consumer segment, supported by our value loading strategy in mobile, together with further progress in broadband and TV. The new social media proposition launched in April generated good traction and contributed to a positive mobile subscription intake in the quarter.
