This agreement will ensure 3's Danish customers access to the national network, in areas outside the company's own network

In the process of building broadband for mobile telephony in Denmark, the telecom company 3 is expecting its network to cover at least 30% of the Danish population by launch in the fourth quarter of 2003. Signed today, the agreement with TDC will secure 3's customers national full network coverage for mobile telephony and SMS.

The ongoing roaming agreement we have signed with TDC can be extended if necessary. When launching our services we will offer two levels, the first is traditional mobile telephony and SMS from anywhere in the country - making use of TDC's network, whilst at the second level we will offer access to the mobile broadband in areas covered by 3's own network. By the launch at least 30% of the Danish population will have access to our mobile broadband. By the end of 2008 our network coverage will expand to 80% of the Danish population as is required by our UMTS-licenses, said 3's General Manager for Denmark Christian Jrgensen.

We are pleased that 3 has chosen TDC as their supplier. This emphasises the quality of TDC's mobile network as well as proving TDC's ability to offer our partners a high level of collaboration and competitive terms, said Mads Middelboe, General Manager of TDC Mobil.
