Description

Sonofon made 421 full-time jobs redundant throughout 2002, mostly through outsourcing of in-house activities, due to a long crisis in the mobile telephone market. An internal discussion between the owners, American Bell South and Norwegian Telenor, lead to further lay-offs of 80 people in october 2003.
