telia selling carrier ops to polhem infra

I wonder how this will affect those who have Telia as an upstream Internet provider? Will it be business as usual and just different company name? Or maybe other changes to come? Telia Company today (10-06-2020) announces that it has reached an agreement with Polhem Infra for the sale of its
