About Stokab

The purpose of Stokab’s operations and the infrastructure provided by the company is to promote economic growth and thereby stimulate the telecom market and IT development in the Stockholm region, particularly in the City of Stockholm.

Stokab’s core tasks are to build, operate and maintain the fiber optic communication network in the Stockholm region and to lease fiber optic connections. The company is competition-neutral and provides a network that is open to all players on equal terms. Stokab cooperates to facilitate the rollout of infrastructure for wireless communication and drives development of the broadband market in the Stockholm region.

Stokab’s subsidiary S:t Erik Kommunikation operates the City of Stockholm’s internal networks to serve both administrative purposes and more public needs in the areas of education, child care, recreation and culture.

Stokab’s mandate from the City of Stockholm, which can be summed up as “public service on commercial terms”, is based on the Swedish parliament’s decision to create “an information society for all”.
