Assessment of Norwegian mobile and fixed broadband revenues in a Nordic context 2025

Reference: Analysis, 2025

Norway’s Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Governance published an analysis on 6 March 2026 commissioned from Tefficient in 2025.

This analysis builds on two previous standalone analyses for mobile and fixed broadband that have been issued four times since 2021, although with less detailed analysis. It focuses on comparing revenues derived from subscribers and assessing selected value-for-money metrics across the four Nordic markets – Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland – for the period up to June 2025.

In addition, the analysis compares market concentration and reviews the financial results of the main mobile and fixed broadband providers.

The analysis can be downloaded from the Norwegian government’s homepage and is written in English.

    Commissioned by Norway’s Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Governance.

    Evaluating mobile service value for money across 12 EU countries, 2025

    Reference: Analysis, 2025

    The Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission, EETT, functions as Greece’s national regulatory authority for telecommunications.

    In response to EETT’s request, Tefficient has conducted an extensive benchmark analysis, focusing on value for money, spanning twelve EU and Euro countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain. A similar analysis was done in 2024.

    EETT has today published a press release introducing the new analysis.

    The findings are summarised as:

    “Greece’s value-for-money position is no longer among the weakest in the peer group. It has moved away from lower-performing countries such as Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, and now aligns more closely with Spain and France. Greece’s trajectory remains promising, driven by the fastest growth in both data and voice usage across the peer group.”

    EETT has commissioned this analysis, and made it available for download in English at the bottom of this page.

    Evaluating fixed broadband and telephony value for money across 12 EU countries

    Reference: Analysis, 2024

    The Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission, EETT, functions as Greece’s national regulatory authority for telecommunications.

    In response to EETT’s request, Tefficient has conducted an extensive benchmark analysis, focusing on value for money for fixed broadband and telephony services, spanning twelve EU countries: Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, and Spain.

    While the primary focus of the benchmark is on Greece, its insights provide valuable perspectives for the telecommunications industry in the remaining eleven countries.

    Key conclusions for Greece include:

    Assessment of Norwegian mobile revenues and fixed broadband pricing in a Nordic context – 2024

    Reference: Analysis, 2024

    Norway’s Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Governance today published two analyses commissioned from Tefficient.

    The conclusion is summarised (in Norwegian) in a press release from the Ministry.

    Both analyses are very comprehensive and compare Norway to the three fellow Nordic countries Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. It means that they are highly interesting not just for the industry and policy makers in Norway, but in all four countries.

    An example graph from the fixed analysis shows how the average monthly subscription fee compares between different plans with different maximum download throughput:

    The average monthly subscription fee during the first 5 years of a fixed broadband contract, measured in purchasing power parity adjusted Norwegian kroner. Each dot represents an actual consumer offer. In total 6500 offers across 385 addresses were documented.

    While the primary focus of the benchmark is on Greece, its insights provide valuable perspectives for the telecommunications industry in the remaining eleven countries.

    Key conclusions for Greece include:

    • Mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is approximately on par but with a notable increase
    • Mobile data usage is low but exhibits the most significant growth
    • Voice usage is the highest among the peer group but continues to see robust growth
    • The total mobile revenue per gigabyte of mobile data is high but demonstrates a marked decrease
    • Voice revenue per mobile voice minute aligns with the median and experiences median erosion
    • In terms of value for money, Greece ranks weaker in data offerings compared to most of its peers but stronger than most in voice services

    Several selected example graphs are presented below.

    Benchmarking fibre pricing in Denmark with eight other European countries, 2023

    Reference: Analysis, 2023

    Fiberalliancen is a trade association for companies that own, operate and use fibre networks in Denmark. It is a part of Green Power Denmark.

    For the third time (previously done in 2021 and in 2022), Tefficient has performed a comprehensive fibre broadband pricing benchmark covering nine European markets: Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK and France.

    In a press release, Fiberalliancen introduces Tefficient’s analysis and makes it publicly available. Download it from the right ‘Dokumenter’ column. It’s in English.

    The release concludes that:

    • Denmark has some of the lowest consumer prices for both new and existing fibre connections.
    • Danish consumer prices – both for new and existing connections – have overall fallen from 2022 to 2023. This is only seen in Denmark and the Netherlands.

    Tefficient’s approach has been thorough and the results are presented in a set of graphs like below.

    Example graph from the analysis showing the total 2-year fee for the new build fibre case. The red trend line highlights Denmark’s position.

    The conclusion is summarised (in Norwegian) in a press release from the Ministry.

    Both analyses are quite comprehensive and compare Norway to the three fellow Nordic countries Denmark, Sweden and Finland. It means that they are highly interesting not just for the industry and policy makers in Norway, but in all four countries.

    Nordic operator benchmark 2023: A decade of excellence

    Reference: Benchmarks, 2023

    In its tenth year, our comprehensive business benchmark raised the standard with an extensive range of 964 key performance indicators (KPIs). Covering crucial areas such as revenue, OPEX, CAPEX, headcount productivity, subscriptions & channels, performance, load, quality, and innovation & growth, this benchmark caters to 53 functions across mobile, fixed, and integrated operators.

    Exclusively sourced from leading Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Danish operators, the peer group data is of the highest quality. To honor pre-agreed confidentiality requirements, participating operators remain anonymous, safeguarding the privacy of their data.

    Tefficient’s benchmark has earned the reputation of being the industry’s best-kept secret. However, its outstanding value has enticed a couple of new participants this year, joining the returning operators who actively rely on the benchmark to drive continuous improvement.
