Who Am I
I am the guy that is privileged to be a citizen of the United States and to work in our dynamic and entrepreneurial economy.
I am the guy that led the team that worked smart, hard and fast to capture opportunities and value for Sonera in the United States.
I am the guy who created relationships with and worked with four other US wireless Telecom to create what became T-Mobile in the US.
I am the guy who led Sonera’s US based team that created great value for all stakeholders, including Nordic stakeholders, all Americans, and our team.
I am the guy who led Sonera’s US team that delivered gains exceeding $1.6 billion for all stakeholders.
I am the guy who led the team that delivered great gains that will provide medical, education, and retirement security for tens of thousands of Nordic citizens.
I am the guy who objects to Sonera’s switching our team from participation in our great success to participation in the financial mess Nordic leaders created.
I am the guy that objects to self-concerned, self-serving Nordic leaders seizing his team’s promised small share of those gains.
I am the guy that objects to cheating Nordic leaders violating his trust, and virtually every legal, moral and ethical protection and commitment to seize our team’s honestly and fairly earned stake in a great success.
I am the guy that objects to cheating Nordic leaders stealing health care, education, and retirement security from our families and all Americans.
I am the guy that seeks to give back a part of our great success to support Diabetes research and to help disadvantages seniors.
I am the guy that has been married for many years and is blessed with a wonderful wife, two great children and their spouses and three grandchildren.
I am the guy that will fight to the death to recover the financial, health care, education, and retirement security that cheating Nordic leaders seized from our families and all Americans.
I am the guy that did the Right Thing. I expect you to do the same..

you can’t be serious. all international profits made by corporations all over the world today go to the pensioners in florida. but i suppose that is ok with you, because it’s fair only when the money goes to usa?

Wow… this was really interesting reading.. So you are saying that you want 3% which was not on any legal paper (as you would have sued them, the American way already) so that you can get 2/3 for yourself (paying your taxes aswell), and 1/3 to make it right to pay for research?
I think Ive been done wrong too by McDonalds, as Im overweight, and McD food has cost me alot of money (nbot talking about the fires which are small here compared to the US). I suggest all people in the “Nordics” (hei, were one country it seems… cool) start boycotting US products!
Ive lived in the US for many years, and I know, your legal system gets every loophole so every small thing, sue them!

LoL?
You could start by sweeping outside your own door…
But that’s no fun, eh?
I remember not so long ago here in sweden a US company (Toys R Us) who first refused to accept swedish laws at all. They ment to follow US laws inside sweden and give their employes less rights, less pay and less vacations, no union membership and so on. Would you consider us doing that in the states? Nope, didn’t think so.
(Please excuse my spelling.)

I’m with the Swede!
Oh Boy-aren’t you bitter!
So in other words the U.S. has never cheated anyone or any country is just a saint in the shape of a country?
And what kind of Ethics is it to blame others and make them the scapegoat?
The truth is: big companies aren’t in it for wellfare, not in the Nordic countries-and neither in the U.S. or anywhere for that matter. And they never will be.
Tough luck honey, life isn’t fair and will never be. Get on with your life and focus on something positive instead.

You sure have got a golden tongue, lots of words and many of them with more than 3 syllables. But where are the facts to back up your story? As far as I can see it’s just hot air and gripe.
Like so many previous commenters have said; Have your day in court!

This is the most stupid website I ever seen. What you say is that all money invested in technology BEFORE starting up in the US is to be paid by the nordic people, schools and hospitals of Sweden and Finland.
HOW much of the money goes to pay patent-fees owned by US and other countries inventors?
How much of TeliaSonera is owed by foreigers?
By the way- probably without your help SAAB is going against the grave and VOLVO is to become Chinese.
I wonder what you would say if TeliaSonera was a Chinese company?
