The managing director of Telenor’s Swedish operations Telenor AB, Kjell-Erik Tenold, told the paper: “It would be nice if we get a break even result in 2006.”
Tenold added that the Swedish operations are still in the process of restructuring and a lot of worked remains.
Telenor AB has lost around 750 million Swedish kronor in the last three years, according to the report.

In May it bought the Swedish broadband provider Bredbandsbolaget for 6 billion Swedish kronor.
