Telia and DNA are to expand their jointly owned network-sharing company, Finnish Shared Network, further across the country, taking it further south-west so it covers cities such as Oulu, Kuopio and Kouvola. Currently the joint network covers 50% of Finland geographically and 13.5% of the population; it is hoped that once the project is complete coverage will rise to 62.5% by area and 28.5% by population. The two operators also believe that their collaboration will help speed up the introduction of 5G services by about a year.
