Swedish military concluded that potential acquisition of TeliaSonera by France Telecom will not have security implications.
Previously we’ve heard Swedish government, a 37% owner of TelaSonera, citing possible security concerns as reasons for not approving the deal.
“The defence forces judge that a change of the ownership in TeliaSonera, provided that sufficient measures are taken to ensure the security interests of the defence forces and other authorities, is feasible from a security perspective,” the military said last week.
Apparently it’s all about the money now. According to sources, TeliaSonera wants to see France Telecom raising its bid by a further $2 billion to reach a total of $44 billion. And with Telenor also showing its interest in TeliaSonera, it’s more than likely they’ll get all the money they want. We’ll keep reporting, naturally.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
