Teracom was established in 1992, as a spin-off from the Swedish
Televerket telecommunications agency, ahead of its corporatisation into the Swedish incumbent operator

Net 1, now Teracom Mobil AB. The background to Teracom's acquisition of Net 1 was to secure telecommunications via mobile broadband to authorities and companies via the 450 MHz band with government control and in the long term.
