Swedish telecommunications market is characterized by excess maturity, in all its sectors and services. Though national incumbent TeliaSonera is still the leading player in most spheres, including fixed-line telephony, mobile market and broadband industry, it faces fierce competition from alternative operators, which, though, have to borrow their network capabilities from the leader. TeliaSoneira has largely developed infrastructure, partly shared with other operators which find it cheaper to lend the capabilities than to build their own. The most competitive fixed-line telephony players, except the incumbent, are Tele2, Telenor and Com Hem. The penetration is at its highest level, making the fixed-line sector mature and corresponding to European standards. Fixed-line telephony market is characterized both by fierce competition, and high-rate cooperation, which leads to introduction of new services and supports totally advantageous atmosphere in the industry. Mobile sector is also marked by healthy competition, which has led to penetration rate over 110% in GSM sector. Due to the fact that subscriber base is growing slowly because of market maturity, mobile operators introduce new services and offer extensive plans to benefit from their business. Still, 3G technology has a great potential, as its penetration has yet to reach the peak, and mobile users tend to pass from standard services to next generation technology. Mobile broadband is also popular among Spanish inhabitants, with HSDPA employed by major companies. Total mobile subscriber base is now close to 11.5 million users, and is still likely to increase.

The largest market share in the mobile industry is taken over by Telia, incumbent's mobile subsidiary, and comprises 44%. The second place is occupied by Tele2, which has nearly 30% of stake in its disposition. Telenor and 3 (Hutchison) are located at the third and fourth positions respectively, with 3 steadily becoming stronger and taking market share over its competitors. Broadband penetration in Sweden is also one of the highest in EU, with several major players ruling the sector. DSL technology is the prevailing one, accounting for almost 70% of total internet usage. Cable access owns the second position by popularity with over 26% of subscribers using it. Other technologies are also implemented, and share the rest of subscriber base. The principal player in broadband industry is TeliaSoneira, with almost 40% of market share. Next comes Bredbandsbolaget, a Telenor subsidiary, which is followed by Com Hem, Tele2 and GlocalNet, recently purchased by Telenor. Thus, Telenor will likely strengthen its position in the sphere.
