Reference: Analysis, 2025

This report, commissioned by the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom), compares cybersecurity and cloud storage services offered by mobile and fixed broadband providers in the four Nordic countries Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. It focuses on the consumer market.

In recent years, it has become increasingly common for telecom providers to include or sell cybersecurity and cloud services alongside mobile and fixed broadband subscriptions. This report compares the scope and features of such services across the Nordic countries. It also examines how these services are sold — whether they are included in all subscriptions, in selected subscriptions, or sold as add-ons.

The report also compares pricing: Are some providers more plentiful in bundling cybersecurity and cloud services with their mobile and fixed broadband subscriptions? What is the estimated market value of such
services when included? Could this help explain price differences within Norway and between Norway and its Nordic neighbours?

The analysis covers consumer offerings from 40 telecom providers across the four countries, based on information available online. Additionally, offerings from a few non-telecom providers — such as F-Secure, Google, Apple, and some insurance companies — have also been reviewed. In total, 127 offerings have been identified and categorised.

Among premium or upmarket telecom brands, there is a general trend toward including at least a basic level of cybersecurity and cloud storage services in higher-end subscriptions. This is less common among
price-focused, flanker, or independent telecom brands — though there are exceptions.
