 PROFILE
The Finns are circling, but Sonera is the biggest shark in Finland's telecom industry. Formerly state monopoly Telecom Finland, the company provides mobile phone service to 2.3 million subscribers on its GSM (global system for mobile communications) network. In response to the Scandinavian wireless explosion, Sonera has rolled out new services that connect mobile users to the Internet and allow them to make purchases using their phones. The company still provides fixed-line voice and data services and operates more than 770,000 local access lines. Its fiber-optic network extends from Moscow to the US and runs rings around major Finnish cities. Finland's government owns a 53% stake in the company.
