Nordic telco TeliaSonera had 1.349 million TV subscribers at the end of March, up 10.8% or 131,000 on the previous year. Growth in the quarter to March amounted to 17,000, or 29,000 excluding Norwegian provider NextGenTel, divested by TeliaSonera last year. The total TV number included almost 600,000 subscribers in Sweden.

TeliaSonera’s overall broadband base declined in the same period to 2.375 million, down 4.7% year-on-year.
