The benefits of mobile communications
Our communications solutions are transforming peoples’ daily lives. Good communications makes a significant contribution to social and economic development.
Transforming people's daily lives
Mobile communications is transforming people’s daily lives. It helps them stay in touch and provides access to vital information wherever they are. In addition, it is a key tool for securing help in the event of an emergency. Mobile communications also give businesses immediate access to their markets and reduce the need for travel. Telenor offers reliable and affordable communications services that contribute to improve people’s lives. As we go forward, we will maintain focus on innovation, and always strive to find new ways of helping people communicate.
Access contributes to development
Mobile communications also have a significant impact on the economies of developing countries, and the telecoms industry actually plays a crucial role in social and economic development. There is a correlation between telecommunications and GDP growth – a 10 per cent higher mobile penetration equals 1.2 per cent of GDP growth.
Extending our coverage
Telenor is making a targeted effort to extend coverage in all the countries in which we operate. In Norway we provide fixed-line access to every household, regardless of location and distance. Both in Pakistan and Bangladesh, we have rolled out our mobile networks to reach remote rural areas. In Bangladesh, Grameenphone’s network currently covers approx. 95 per cent of the population.
