A recently held spectrum auction in Norway is set to inject a big boost of competition into the nation’s wireless market as newcomer TelcoData surprised competitors with its rigorous bidding.
The nation raised $290 million in the auction, with TelcoData paying the most for its spectrum to challenge Telenor, TeliaSonera and Tele2. According to reports, Sweden-based Tele2 failed to win 3G or 4G spectrum.

Reports are now pondering whether TelcoData is considering a partnership with Tele2.
