History
DNA traces its beginnings to the "Suomen 3P" mobile phone operations division of the Finnet (fi) group of telephone cooperatives (of which the latter was originally founded in 1921 as a grouping of the over 400 privately owned telephone cooperatives which then existed in Finland in competition with the Finnish PTT agency (fi) ) after there was a split-up in the association. The Helsinki Telephone Association (now Elisa Oyj) left Finnet and they needed to find a new owner, which they did in 2001.
In 2007, there began to be new difficulties between the remaining Finnet companies. The largest members merged themselves with DNA and left the association.
In 2012, DNA challenged a long-time dominated Digita Oy in the Finnish terrestrial television
