Telenor Sverige notified the Swedish Competition Authority on 28 September 2026 that it planned to acquire sole control of Bahnhof. The authority has concluded that the transaction is not likely to significantly impede the existence or development of effective competition and has allowed it to proceed without action.

The authority focused its investigation on the horizontal overlap between Telenor and Bahnhof in the supply of fixed fiber broadband services to end customers. Telenor provides telecommunications services, including mobile, fixed broadband, TV distribution and data services, to residential and business customers across Sweden. In fixed broadband, it mainly operates as a service provider under the Telenor and Ownit brands and does not own access network infrastructure.

Bahnhof supplies broadband, network services and IT infrastructure to residential and business customers. It has limited fixed telephony and TV operations, with TV services offered in cooperation with external providers. Like Telenor, Bahnhof mainly acts as a broadband service provider without its own access network infrastructure.

During its review, the authority contacted competitors, obtained information from the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority, and surveyed a sample of Telenor’s and Bahnhof’s housing association group-agreement customers. Following its overall assessment, it cleared the acquisition without remedies.
