Tele2
Tele2 AB is a provider of mobile and fixed connectivity, telephony, data network services, TV, streaming and global Internet of things services, to consumers and enterprises. It is headquartered in Kista Science City, Stockholm, Sweden. It is a major mobile network operator in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Tele2 started as a telecommunications company in Sweden in 1993 by the company Investment AB Kinnevik. In 2024, Tele2's ownership structure changed with Kinnevik selling its stake to French telecoms group Iliad's company Freya Investissement.
Tele2 started in 1981 as a mobile phone provider called Comvik as an alternative mobile phone operator to the state-owned company Televerket (today known as Telia Company). The cable television provider Kabelvision AB started in 1986. Comvik later changed its name to become Comviq when the company got a GSM license in 1988 and started operating in 1992.
In 1991, Sweden's first commercial ISP was started with the Swedish IP Network (Swipnet (sv), AS1257) by Investment AB Kinnevik, later renamed as Tele2, and in 1993 with telephone liberalization in Sweden, Tele2 started to offer international calls.
The three companies Comviq, Kabelvision, and Tele2 came together as the Tele2 brand on fixed-line services and Comviq on mobile services in Sweden in 1997. International growth came in the form of acquisitions in Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, and France.
In June 2016 Tele2 acquired the B2B services provider TDC Sweden AB from Danish TDC Group.
In November 2018, Tele2 was merged with telecom operator Com Hem, which delivered, among other things, TV, broadband and telephony. At the beginning of 2020, the streaming service Comhem Play+ was launched available to those who are not a customer at Com Hem and changed name to Tele2 Play in January 2022.
In 2022, Tele2 became the first company in the Nordics and Baltics to have a science-based Net Zero target approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. In 2023, Tele2 was named Europe’s leading climate leader by the Financial Times. In 2024, the company was recognized as Sweden’s most sustainable and ranked 37th globally by Time Magazine. The same year, Tele2 AB was acquired by Iliad through its subsidiary Freya Investissement.[1]
