Telenor’s Norwegian cable interests are to merge with those of telecommunications business Telenor Norway from the New Year.
The decision, taken at board level last week, will effect around 150 employees on the Canal Digital payroll.
“All customers and partners will be notified of the changes. All products, services and prices are as previous and all customer-contact points are as today, but the invoice that customers receive will come from Telenor Norway instead of Canal Digital Kabel TV. This is a purely administrative change”, said Berit Svendsen, CEO of Telenor Norway.
In recent years the two companies have already been moving closer together. Around half a million customers are effected, running on various technical platfotms.
Telenor Norway will take on all existing agreements and supplier obligations held by Canal Digital.
Services will continue to be supplied under the brand Canal Digital Kabel TV.
