3 Denmark has achieved impressive growth in the second quarter of 2024, bringing it even closer to becoming the second largest telecoms provider in Denmark. During this successful period, 3 saw 19,000 new customers, raising its total customer base to 1.627 million and a total increase of approximately 38,000 customers in the first half of the year.
Revenue in 2024’s second quarter reached DKK 670 million, while growth in the business segment saw service revenue rising 4% year-on-year to DKK 511 million.
3 Denmark and Live Nation have announced a harmonious partnership to offer the best music experiences to concertgoers in Denmark. Known for orchestrating over 400 annual music spectacles across the country with top-tier national and international artistes, Live Nation sets the stage for unforgettable experiences. Building on their existing relationship, 3 has now cemented a permanent partnership with Live Nation. This cooperation promises 3 customers exclusive access to some of the most sought-after concerts on Danish soil. As the partnership evolves, expect even greater opportunities to arise for music lovers and 3 customers.
In a promising start to the year, 3 Denmark saw significant customer growth, driven largely by a surge in internet subscribers. This remarkable increase saw 19,000 new customers, propelling 3 Denmark’s total customer base to 1.608 million. This surge isn’t just a numbers game – it’s reflected in a substantial service revenue boost of DKK 26 million compared to the previous year’s first quarter, marking a solid 5% growth. As 3 Denmark continues to expand its reach and offerings, it solidifies its position as a leading telecommunications provider, poised for even greater strides in the year ahead.
3 Denmark defied all the experts who predicted that their 3G network company, launched in 2003 with precisely zero customers, was doomed to failure. Twenty years on, they are celebrating serving over 1.5 million personal and business Danish customers. They took over 11,000 of them from the competition in Q3 alone.
As if that wasn’t enough, their 5G network was named the “Most Consistent/Best Network Overall” in Denmark by telecommunications analysis agency Opensignal. They also came out on top for accessibility and upload and download speeds for a 5G network in Denmark.
3 Denmark has signed up with a local startup, the 0-Mission, to replace the energy it consumes from the power grid with solar-generated electricity. It supports the 0-Mission’s privately funded solar park through a subscription that reduces its carbon footprint from electricity usage. Normally companies would have to undertake to build their own renewable energy capacity, a time-consuming process. Through this initiative, 3 Denmark can start to offset its environmental impact immediately, doing good now rather than later.
3 Denmark has secured a wide swathe of radio bandwidth for the next 20 years after paying top dollar in a recent auction by the national regulator. The 3.5 GHz frequency ‘property’ will mean that 3 Denmark will be able to deliver a superior 5G service to its customers in the Scandinavian nation. It also secured bandwidth in other spectra that will bolster its current 4G and 5G services. Furthermore, its acquisitions in the 26 GHz band will empower its offerings in ultra-fast mmWave technology.
Copenhagen and Roskilde are the first spots to enjoy the beginning of 5G in Denmark for customers of 3 Denmark and those under the Oister brand. With this successful leap at the end of the year, the network will continue to expand and be made available to the whole country by 2022.
