Mobile and fixed broadband ARPUs are generally improving in the Nordics & Baltics.

Lithuanian & Latvian operators lead in their ability to improve ARPU; Estonia does well too.

In the Nordics, Norway & Denmark have the best development, followed by Finland. Sweden features the weakest development.

Tele2 created a fuzz among Swedish mobile providers in October 2025 when it started to manually contact customers who had requested a port-out to ask for an confirmation, thereby not following the industry agreement.

Regulator PTS examined this, concluding in December that it wasn't illegal.

Norway: Regulator Nkom dangled a carrot saying that fibre networks could avoid SMP regulation if voluntarily opening up.

Three - Tussa IKT, Tafjord Connect & NEAS (each with a 1% revenue market share) - decided not to open their networks and will hence be SMP regulated.

Denmark's Fiberalliancen made a cute drawing showing where the Danish public support for broadband went in 2025. But it will be halved in 2026. Accompanied by the laconic statement "not quite at Swedish level". app.bwz.se/greenpowerde...

Negotiations over: 357 @elisaoyj.bsky.social employees to lose their jobs - of which 347 based in Finland. Slightly lower than the 400 indicated before negotiations. elisa.com/corporate/ne... Elisa was probably the last Nordic operator that initiated a downsizing program, nobody is immune it seems.

We won't update this analysis further. When stats for the full year of 2025 are in, we will be back with a new analysis. Merry Christmas!

MVNOs have a tiny market share in Finland & Sweden but hold ~10% of the mobile subs base in Norway & Denmark.

The share would likely be less if we count $: That level of detail is available for Norway (6%) & Sweden (4%).
