Vodafone, TDC Extend Partnership

COPENHAGEN -- TDC and Vodafone today announced that they have extended their strategic Nordic Partnership to include Sweden and Norway, in addition to an existing agreement covering Denmark.

Effective from April 1st 2010, the non-equity Partner Market agreement will allow both companies to better serve their respective customers within the Nordic region as well as internationally.

Under the broader Partner Market agreement, TDC has exclusive access to a range of products, services and devices from Vodafone, promoted under a co-branding model, in three Nordic countries, as well as the acquisition of enterprise customers and improved network inter-working.

"Our partnership with Vodafone will make life easier for our global oriented customers based in the Nordic region. The TDC/Vodafone product portfolio will now be available to all customers in Denmark, Norway and Sweden," said TDC Nordic Director Jens Munch-Hansen, who expects good results from a closer collaboration on product development between TDC and Vodafone.
