CHANGE TO TELE2'S MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE

New York and Stockholm - Tele2 AB, ("Tele2"), (Nasdaq Stock Market: TLTOA and
TLTOB and Stockholmsborsen: TEL2A and TEL2B), the leading alternative
pan-European telecommunications company, today announced that Johnny Svedberg
has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of Tele2.

Johnny Svedberg's responsibilities include Marketing Coordination, Product
Implementation, Network & Operations, Billing, Customer Service, Carrier
Business & Revenue Assurance, Legal, Regulatory and Purchasing, as well as the
market area Eastern Europe and Russia.

Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, CEO of Tele2 said; "The objective in establishing this
new function is to further streamline the workload in a fast growing company".

Tele2's market organisation will as before report to the CEO. The five regional
managers moving forward are:

Fredrik Berglund, Nordic
Johnny Svedberg, Eastern Europe and Russia
Anders Olsson, Central Europe
Jean-Louis Constanza, Southern Europe
Per Borgklint, Benelux

This structure will result in some changes. Organisationally they take effect
immediately, however for accounting purposes the market areas will remain
unchanged until 31 December, 2003.

Tele2's European expansion and its efforts in those countries which are set to
join the European Union, increases the importance of the work required on
regulatory issues. Consequently Jan Tjernell has been appointed as head of all
regulatory issues.

Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, CEO of Tele2 said; "One could say that Tele2 is
simultaneously working on two different markets, the customer market and the
regulatory market. Now we will put further emphasis on the work required to
achieve fair competitive conditions in all countries. The old telecom monopolies
are still being favoured in many EU-countries, as well as those countries, which
will shortly join the European union. Tele2 is the only telecom company
operating throughout the EU and the countries to be included in the EU, whose
roots have not come from an old monopoly".

Tele2 AB, formed in 1993, is the leading alternative pan-European
telecommunications company offering fixed and mobile telephony, data network and
Internet services under the brands Tele2, Tango and Comviq to over 18.7 million
people in 22 countries. Tele2 operates Datametrix, which specializes in systems
integration, 3C Communications, providing integrated credit card processing, web
payment solutions and public payphones; Transac, providing billing and
transaction processing service; C(3), offering co-branded pre-paid calling cards
and Optimal Telecom, the price-guaranteed residential router device. The Group
offers cable television services and, together with MTG, owns the Internet
portal Everyday.com. The Company is listed on the Stockholmsborsen, under TEL2A
and TEL2B, and on the Nasdaq Stock Market under TLTOA and TLTOB.
