    Question

    Christoffer Wang Bjørnsen inquired about Telenor's fixed broadband strategy in Norway, noting that cable losses are outpacing fiber gains, and asked about future investment levels. He also questioned the dividend potential of True Corporation in Thailand given its debt levels.

    Answer

    CEO Sigve Brekke explained that upcoming deregulation in Norway will create new wholesale opportunities and that Telenor is focusing fiber builds on less competitive areas. Acting CFO Kasper Kaarboe added that the approach remains value-driven, balancing subscriber numbers and ARPU. Regarding True, Kasper Kaarboe noted that its leverage is declining faster than expected and that its retained earnings provide dividend capacity beyond reported net profit, with a strong expectation for dividends to commence in 2025.
