(Fornebu, Norway -21 March 2013) Google(TM) and Telenor Norway cooperate to make
it easier for mobile users to find relevant apps in Google Play(TM). For the

their mobile phone subscriptions.

Google Play offers more than 700,000 apps and games, and the number of apps is
increasing day by day. Telenor makes it easier for customers to download, and to
pay for their chosen apps using their mobile phone.

"Google and Telenor make it possible for Android(TM) users to easily and safely
pay for apps and content trough the mobile subscription bill. In addition, we
make it easier for our customers to find services such as Telenor Faktura (the
mobile phone bill), Mine Kontakter (my contacts)   and Dekningsappen (app for
coverage), as well as exciting apps worth discovering. These apps are found
under the Telenor logo in Google Play, said Stein-Erik Vellan, leader of the
Mobile Division at Telenor Norway.

The launch is a result of cooperation between Telenor Digital Services and
