Telia and Telenor have agreed to share network infrastructure in Denmark. The mobile operators will establish a common infrastructure company to operate the joint network, which they expect to have "a significant impact on both the customer experience and financial results". The agreement involves the 2G, 3G and 4G networks. The two companies will give each other access to existing towers in areas where they would otherwise have had to build their own. In addition, future new mobile towers will be built jointly by Telenor and Telia in Denmark. This will reduce both companies' spending on mobile infrastructure while at the same time allowing them to expand the network more quickly. As part of the agreement, Telenor and Telia are already in the process of giving each other access to existing 2G and 3G positions within the framework of the mobile tower legislation, as well as planning new joint 2G and 3G positions. The partnership only covers the radio access network, i.e. the antennas, towers and transmission equipment that establish connections to mobile units. The partnership does not involve the two companies' core networks where their services are produced, which will continue to operate separately, and the two operators will continue to compete on services.
