History
Nordisk Mobiltelefon was founded in 2003, and in 2005 received a ten-year licence from the
In February 2009 Nordisk Mobiltelefon went
In Sweden and Denmark, the brand name Net 1 replaced the Nordisk Mobiltelefon name in May 2010. In Norway it remains ice, of which the latter introduced a new logo and branding in 2018.
In 2015, Ice group acquired Network Norway, which made Ice the third
In December 2018, Ice Group transferred its ownership of the non-Scandinavian operations to Net 1 International, who today handles operations for Net 1 Indonesia and Net 1 Philippines.[9]
Teracom subsequently acquired the Swedish operations of Net 1 from Access Industries on 25 February 2019, and gradually rebranded it to Teracom Mobil during 2020–2022, at the same time completely exiting from the consumer sector to focus purely on the B2B and B2G sectors. Teracom Mobil's 450 MHz (LTE band 31) licence is valid from 5 March 2020 until 31 December 2044.
In March 2019, the Net 1 brand was officially launched in the Philippines.[10] This is after Net 1 International entered a partnership with Citadel Holdings, Inc. to operate the internet service provider Broadband Everywhere (BE), which was subsequently renamed to Net 1 Philippines. The company currently holds the franchise to operate two frequencies in the Philippines: 450 MHz (awarded in 2006) and 3.5 GHz. The Net 1 network in the Philippines currently offers coverage in six provinces in Luzon: Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Pampanga.
Upgrade to 4G LTE
In 2015, the networks in Norway, Sweden and Denmark were upgraded from CDMA to 4G LTE using the same 450 MHz frequencies (LTE band 31). The Norwegian subsidiary also holds other frequency licenses for its mobile phone network. The new LTE networks maintain the same extensive geographic coverage as the former NMT-450 and CDMA2000 networks, while greatly increasing speeds overall.
