Mikael is the CEO of Byanätsforum. He has over 25 years of experience in telecommunications, computer networks, and broadband.
Byanätsforum is a trade association for 200 economic associations that have built broadband networks in rural Sweden. In total, they connect 70,000 households who have gained access to broadband much faster and at an even lower cost than if they had waited for commercial players. Byanätsforum works to continue developing and future-proofing the networks and the local associations, so that ownership of the investment can be retained locally and benefit the investors.
Byanätsforum is the obvious actor and resource for locally owned broadband networks and viable villages.
