15. STRATEGY
Tele2 to be positioned as clear price leader
Tele2 Croatia lacks sufficient scale and needs to double its market
share
We have a proactive approach on regulatory decisions and take
action on tariff changes if necessary
Tele2 will utilize the current economical downturn to prompt
customers to save on mobile telecommunications

Changes in Vipnet and T-Mobile EBITDA YoY are driven by Tele2 National
roaming contracts, as Tele2 used Vipnet in 2008, but shifted to T-Mobile in 2009

At least 20 percent revenue market share to align business with
group targets for the whole operation
Further reduce National Roaming share of total traffic
Increase Tele2 share of incoming tourist roaming revenue
