Talk:SUNAB

Given that SUNAB operates the largest 3G network in Sweden and that there already exist an article on the Swedish version of Wikipedia for it, I thought we could keep it? :) Kll (talk) 13:08, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Do you have any independent references to support that claim? WWGB (talk) 13:13, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Let me see if I can dig something out. I am an employee of Tele2, one of the parent companies, so I do know this first hand but I understand the need for a reference, gimme a sec. Kll (talk) 13:16, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

[1] is an URL to PTS (Post & Telestyrelsen, the equivalent of FCC in Sweden) page saying that SUNAB (misspelled as SULAB) is the first network to meet the population coverage demand. It says that Tele2 and Telia is the owner of SUNAB. [2] mentions that Tele2 buys capacity from SUNAB. [3] also list the networks in Sweden and their relations to different operators. I think that establishes the relations of SUNAB. [4] lists the number of customers of Tele2 - 3378000 in March 2010. I can't find a recent number for Telia but it is in a similar range. This [5] three year old article shows how Telia leads the mobile market in Sweden with 4.4 million customers and Tele2 comes in at 3.2. Third is Telenor with 1.8. Those figures have changed, but the order of operators have not - Telia is number one and Tele2 is number two. Even without Telia, the 3378000 customers of Tele2 puts it ahead of the third network, Telenor. Since both Telia and Tele2 utilize the network built by SUNAB we can deduce it is the largest network by customer base in Sweden. Kll (talk) 13:55, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

And given the scarcity of information on the topic, I think it's nice just to have wikipedia explain what SUNAB is an abbreviation of so that users can more easily find more information on the topic. Kll (talk) 13:16, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
