CEO Veli-Matti Mattila:"Growth from new services; smartphones increasingly popular

In 2010, Elisa's revenue and EBITDA were at the previous year's level, in line
with our guidance. Revenues from the mobile business and new services increased.
Improved productivity ensured good profitability. The general uncertainty in the
economy was still reflected in the corporate customer business, although it
began to pick up towards the end of the year.

The competitive situation remained challenging in 2010, particularly in the
mobile broadband market. However, Elisa managed to strengthen both its market
position and competitiveness. The mobile subscription base grew by almost half a
million subscriptions during the year. During the last quarter, it grew by more
than 140,000 subscriptions, while the number of fixed network broadband
subscriptions increased by over 3,000.

The Consumer Customer business revenue developed well with the growth of mobile
revenues and new services. The popularity of smartphones, tablets and the use of
applications increased mobile revenue. Elisa launched several new smartphone
models at different price categories. Elisa Viihde IPTV service was the first in
the world to introduce exclusive and extensive NHL coverage. The use of Elisa
Viihde was also extended by an Android smartphone application, making the
recording and marking of program favorites even easier.

The Corporate Customer business developed well with the growth of ICT services.
Elisa continued to strengthen its ICT services portfolio for improving the
customer productivity and flexibility by acquiring video conference operator
Videra and Appelsiini, a company providing IT outsourcing services. Another
world first for Elisa was the introduction of corporate-standard video
conferences to smartphones and tablets. This application allows multi-point
conferences anywhere, anytime.

In 2010, we carried out major extensions to the capacity and speed of our 3G
network. An independent survey showed yet again that Elisa's 3G network has the
best coverage of all Finnish operators' networks. The investments to the network
are a response to the rapidly increasing data requirements of smartphones. Elisa
was the first operator in Finland to open a 4G network for corporate users.

Elisa donated EUR 650,000 to Finnish universities in support of science,
research and education. The largest donation, EUR 500,000, was received by Aalto
University. The other recipients were the universities of Jyväskylä, Turku and
Helsinki.

The general economic situation has continued its positive trend. Competition in
the Finnish telecommunications market remains challenging. We are determined to
continue improving customer satisfaction and productivity. The broadening
service offering enabling positive user experiences and productivity
improvements, as well as our strong investment capabilities provide a good basis
for the future."

Outlook for 2011

Positive trends in the general economy have continued. Risks are related to
nervousness caused by the budget deficits in several European countries and its
possible impacts on the general economic development. Competition in the Finnish
telecommunications market remains challenging.

Full year revenue is estimated to increase slightly from the previous year. The
use of mobile communications, especially mobile broadband services, and
equipment sales are continuing to rise. In addition, ICT and new online
services' revenue will grow. Full year EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, is
expected to improve slightly from the last year. Full-year capital expenditure
is expected to be maximum 12 per cent of revenue.

In addition to its strong position as a network service provider, Elisa is
transforming itself to be able to provide its customers with exciting and
relevant new services. Among the factors contributing to long-term growth and
profitability improvement is 3G market growth, as well as new online and ICT
services. Elisa continues determinedly to employ its efficiency measures.
Elisa's financial position and liquidity are good.
