ALBtelecom Mobile

Back in March 2008, it was first founded as a subsidiary of ALBtelecom, which had been privatized in October 2007, with a majority of shares sold by the Albanian government to a consortium of two Turkish companies; Calik Holding and Türk Telekom.

The privatization started in 2005 and was finalised on September 28, 2007, when one of the biggest companies in Turkey, Çalik Group, purchased 76% of the shares along with its partner Türk Telekom.

In a very short period of 6 months, Eagle Mobile covered the entire territory of the country by exceeding its speed and predictions for network set up.

ALBtelecom and Eagle invested 150 million Euro, providing job possibilities to around 1000 Albanian professionals, the majority of them women.
