THE INTERNET

2

HISTORY OF THE INTERNET

Until 1990, Albania was one of the world's most isolated and controlled countries.

The Internet was introduced in Albania in 1991 by the Soros Foundation.

The first providers was the Intellectual Communication Centre-Albania which functions as an NGO.

The second phase with Abissnet and Adanet being the first to use the Web for commercial purposes.

Third stage Internet services were provided by companies that had previously operated as dealers of computers.

3

ALBANIA IN FRONT OF THE WORLD OF THE INTERNET

Albania is ranked as the 42nd in Europe (and as 107th in the world) based in its level of users and for the infrastructure of the internet service.

In Albania as the other places the internet is still keen on but is still inaccessible for all.

We should say that in Albania almost doesn’t exist the e-commerce.

Also the public service offered throw e-government system is in its first steps.

4

THE USE OF THE INTERNET

The major function of the Internet is providing access to knowledge.

Emigration is a wound for the Albanian society.

Among the most useful forms of the virtual space are the discussions taking place at online forums and chat-rooms.

5

THE USERS AND THE TRADE

Till the end of the 1990 the internet in Albania was exclusively used by:

a. Government institution

b. International organization.

c. University institution

d. NGO

The beginning of the liberalization of the telecommunication trade brought up many competitors that is why we met an increase of the internet users.

THE TELEPHONY

27

THE TELEPHONY HISTORY

The history of Albtelecom dates since 1912, when for the first time in our country was possible to handle telegraphy-telephony services in an organized manner and with particular attention.

Up to the year 1992, fix telecommunications services were offered under the General Directorate of Posts and Telecommunications.

Albania was poorly represented in the telecommunications field with an obsolete wire system.

In 1999 this company was transformed into a joint-stock company, and since then the company is called ALBTELECOM.

October 1, 2007 - Albtelecom’s privatization process was completed and 76% shares of Albtelecom was sold to CETEL a.s (Ankara), the member of “CALIK Holding” (Istanbul), Turkey.
