I had no clue TeliaSonera is a majority owner of Yoigo, my favorite Spanish operator which I (and the rest of the IntoMobile crew) use when attending the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona… You learn something every day. 
Anyway, the Swedish carrier said it would keep its stake in Yoigo for now, and will try to make it profitable by late next year.
TeliaSonera has been also exploring options to sell the loss-making Yoigo, but decided to stick with it as now is not the time to sell.
For the record, Yoigo and virtual mobile operators (MVNOs) have been wooing recession-hit customers with flat rate cheap per-minute deals.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. 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.
