In my tweets, I’ve talked about numerous “potential” partners that Telcoin has been associated with, but Telenor Group has never been one of them. The fascinating thing about this operator is that it has many interconnections with previous suspects.

Telenor Group

Telenor is a Norwegian multinational telecommunications company headquartered in Norway. It is one of the world’s largest mobile telecommunications companies with operations worldwide, focus in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Asia. They have an estimated 214 million subscribers which ranks them as the 9th largest mobile operator in the world. Telenor owns networks in 13 countries, and has operations in 29 countries, which includes their ownership of VEON Ltd.

Commercial Break!!! Yes, I did say VEON (rumored to be involved with Telcoin). I‘ll get back to them later.

I’m always interested in the number of subscribers that a “potential” partner has because it validates what Telcoin states on page 8 of their whitepaper, in regards to immediate reach.

“According to the GSM Association, more than 5 billion people have mobile phones. Reaching potential users can be difficult and costly for any new business. Telcoin will create a symbiotic relationship with telecoms in order to capitalize on their vast reach. By incentivizing mobile operators to partner with us — through the issuance of Telcoin described in the Cryptocurrency Details section — we will gain immediate access to their existing subscriber base. We will provide incentives to telecoms, which will promote Telcoin in order to maximize their own revenue from issuance.”

And of course those subscribers translate into number of transactions, which in turn translate into Telcoin revenue.

Looking at the top 10 mobile network operators in the world, I’ve noticed that at least 4 of them have been linked to Telcoin, which gives me much confidence. Just imagine having access to a fraction of the subscribers from Vodafone, MTN Group, Telenor, and Airtel!

Speaking of Airtel, I am not certain that many knew that the Indian unit of Telenor Group (Telenor India) merged with Bharti Airtel. Quick reminder, Telcoin recently met with the latter.

I’ve stated earlier that Telenor Group owns VEON Ltd. Why does that even matter? If you haven’t noticed yet, Telcoin seems to be targeting telecommunication operators that are interconnected.

As mentioned in the previous article (Telcoin in bed with Vodacom?!!!), Claude talks about targeting groups to have access to the whole network. The importance of Telenor owning VEON, is that it allows Telcoin to have a bigger footprint.

What proof do we have that Telcoin is even involved with VEON? In that same interview, Claude mentioned, at the 32:46 mark, that Telcoin was moving forward with a very large group based in Amsterdam. That’s just me speculating, but take a look at the information on the left.
