CEO
Veli-Matti Mattila:

”The 3G service bundles got off to a very strong
start

Our telecommunications market is taking strong steps towards
service
competition. The number of 3G handsets, which support
improved services, has
already doubled during April.

3G service bundles, allowed since 1 April,
make it easy to
implement and use new services. The packages enable such
new
services as e.g. video calls, very fast data connections, data
lines and
mobile TV.

The 3G service bundles sale is expected to improve
profitability
in the long-term, but will initially strain the
profitability
owing to e.g. increasing marketing investments.

The regional
coverage of telecommunications services is important
in developing the
information society. The authorities could speed
up the expansion of 3G
coverage by enabling the use of 900 MHz
frequency for 3G services. The
spreading of coverage would thus be
much more cost efficient.

The number of
subscriptions to Elisa services continued to
increase in the first quarter. We
strengthened our leading
position in the broadband market, achieving 40,000
new
subscriptions.

Besides the growth of the subscription base, another
significant
factor was the decrease in the churn in mobile
communications.
Within a year, the churn has dropped from over 30 per cent to
less
than 20 per cent. This indicates that operators are focusing on
their
existing customers and service-based competition. It is more
and more
important that the product and service function
seamlessly together.

We
determinedly continue to improve profitability and to offer
better services
for our customers.”

Interim report for January-March 2006

This interim report has been
prepared in accordance with the IFRS
recognition and measurement principles.
The information presented
in this interim report is unaudited.

Market
situation

Average minute prices continued to fall. However, in the
mobile
communication business, competition is expanding from prices
to
services. At the end of March, Elisa launched its new 3G service
packages,
which make it easy to use new services. The number of
mobile network
subscriptions continued its positive development,
and usage of subscriptions
increased.

In the fixed network business, the number of
broadband
subscriptions continued its strong growth. The number and usage
of
traditional subscriptions decreased.

Elisa's revenue for January-March
was up 5 per cent compared with
the same period in 2005. Revenue in the mobile
communication
business increased by 7 per cent and in the fixed network
business
by 11 per cent. In the mobile communication business, revenue
was
positively affected by the additional traffic generated by
Saunalahti,
and in the fixed network business, the increase in the
number of broadband
subscriptions.

**
Comparable EBITDA EUR 89 million

Elisa's EBITDA showed growth of 2 per cent
from the corresponding
period in 2005. This increase was attributable to
improved
profitability and the additional revenue created by the
acquisition
of Saunalahti.

The group’s other financial income and expenses totalled EUR
-4
million (-6). Reduced financial expenses were mainly due to a
decrease in
net debt.

Income taxes in the income statement amounted to EUR -9 million

(-6).

The group’s January-December result after taxes stood at EUR
30
million (33). The group’s earnings per share (EPS) amounted to EUR
0.18
(0.23). At the end of March, the group shareholders' equity
per share was  EUR
7.54 (8.06 at the end of 2005).

Changes in corporate structure

On 28
March 2006, Elisa deposited a security, as referred to in
Chapter 14, section
21 of the Companies Act, with regard to
Saunalahti Group Oyj’s shares that are
to be redeemed. As a
result, Elisa's ownership in Saunalahti increased to 100
per cent
and public quotation of Saunalahti shares terminated.

Elisa's
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tikka Communications Oy and
Jyväsviestintä Oy, have
resolved to merge with Elisa. The mergers
are scheduled for the summer
2006.

* Elisa's network
operator in Finland (the 2005 figures partly

subscriptions)
** Elisa's service operators in Finland (the 2005 figures
exclude
the Saunalahti subscriptions)

Elisa’s network operator increased
the number of its subscriptions
by some 545,500 subscriptions during the year,
partially as the
result of Saunalahti shifting its subscriptions to
Elisa’s
network. The first-quarter increase was approximately
22,000
subscriptions.

The call minutes per subscription of Elisa's own
service operator
rose by approximately 18 per cent and the number of SMS
messages
increased by approximately 28 per cent on the corresponding
period
in 2005. The call minutes of the network operator rose by 52 per
cent
and SMS messages by 64 per cent. The increase was
substantially affected by
the additional traffic generated by
Saunalahti.

Revenue per subscription
(ARPU) decreased by approximately 19 per
cent from the corresponding  period.
This was due to the price
erosion in consumer and interconnection fees in June
2005. The
increased usage per subscription failed to completely
compensate
for the decrease due to price erosion.

The business operations
of Elisa's subsidiary in Estonia continued
to grow rapidly, both in terms of
revenue and number of
subscriptions. Revenue was up 17 per cent at EUR 22.3
million
(19.0) and the number of customers grew by 18 per cent to
277,500
(235,650). Profitability also improved: EBITDA was up 17 per
cent,
amounting to EUR 6.8 million (5.8), and revenue increased by 26
per
cent to EUR 4.4 million (3.5).

In March, Elisa introduced a new pricing
model for wireless
subscriptions that is based on a monthly fee similar to
broadband
connections.

The demand for broadband subscriptions continued
strong in the
first quarter. The number of subscriptions increased
by
approximately 40,000 subscriptions from the beginning of the year.
Growth
occurred somewhat more heavily in Elisa's own subscriber
network areas, but
was also significant in external growth areas.

The number of traditional
subscriptions continued to decrease
steadily as voice calls shifted to the
mobile communication
network and data transfers to broadband
subscriptions.

In March, Elisa initiated the renewal of its
telecommunications
network, which comprises renewal of the technology and
equipment
of Elisa’s whole broadband and backbone network. The
network
renewal continues Elisa’s investments, thanks to which the
broadband
connection speeds have increased continuously and the
availability of
broadband connections has become more extensive
throughout Finland. Elisa is
also updating its intelligent network
services targeted at corporate
customers. This will allow
efficient use of new technologies and faster
migration to IP-based
services.

to Manpower Business Solutions Oy. In
addition, Elisa and
Henkilöstövuokraus Barona Oy agreed on the outsourcing of
a part
of Elisa's order processing and invoicing functions to Barona.
In
connection with the business transfer, a total 119 employees
transferred
from Elisa to Barona.

In March, Elisa's Board of Directors approved a new
share-based
incentive plan for the Elisa key personnel. The potential
reward
from the plan will be based on the total shareholder return in
2006 –
2008. The reward will be partly paid in company shares and
partly as a cash
payment in 2008 and 2010.

Significant legal issues

Since the publication of
Elisa's Annual Report 2005, the following
legal developments concerning Elisa
have taken place:

The Helsinki Court of Appeal issued a ruling in favour of
Elisa
and dismissed the action for annulment of the decision made at
the
former Oy Radiolinja Ab's Annual General Meeting in spring 2000.
If the

Events after the reporting period

Elisa has launched new service
packages, which combine both
services and a phone into one package. As a
result of the new
legislation, customers can now acquire a phone with a
service
package connected to it.

In accordance with the terms of Elisa's
Saunalahti deal as set by
the Finnish Competition Authority, Saunalahti sold
the Saunaverkko
network required for the implementation of broadband services
and
its customer contracts in the Tampere, Jyväskylä and Riihimäki
regions.
Saunalahti also sold the Saunaverkko network without
customer contracts in the
Helsinki region. The deals have no
substantial effect on Elisa's financial
performance.

Elisa was the first company in the Nordic region to triple
the
speed of mobile phone networks, introducing a maximum speed of 1
megabit
(1 Mbit/s). This allows ever larger files to be downloaded
in the mobile phone
network with speeds similar to fixed broadband
connections.

Elisa launched
a service targeted at business customers which
includes a mobile communication
terminal, accessories and
additional services subject to a monthly fee. For
businesses the
service offers convenience and cost-efficiency as they can
acquire
mobile phones and related services without having to make
any
investments of their own.

Elisa's and Saunalahti's long distance
networks will be
integrated, and Saunalahti's phone traffic will transfer
to
Elisa's long distance network. The integration brings cost
savings
relating to transit fees, transmission network costs and
other
synergy benefits. The shared network will be available by the end
of
2006.

Outlook for 2006

Competition in the Finnish telecommunications
market remains
challenging, while the focus is increasingly shifting to
services.
The use of mobile communications and broadband products
continues
to increase. Elisa's aim is to further reinforce its position
as
the leading service supplier.

Elisa's revenue is expected to increase
markedly on the previous
year. The growth will be partially attributable to an
increase in
terminal device sales. EBITDA and EBIT excluding
non-recurring
items are expected to improve on the previous year. This will
be
due to, e.g. synergy benefits created by the acquisition of
Saunalahti and
Elisa's rationalisation procedures.

Capital expenditures during the year are
estimated to total 13-15
per cent of revenue, and cash flow will be clearly
positive.
Certain non-recurring items related to IT and production
system
reforms, which will support the "One Elisa" operational model,
are
scheduled for 2006.
