You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''ALBtelecom Mobile''', formerly known as '''''Eagle Mobile''''', was a [[mobile communication]] company that operates in [[Albania]]. 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]]. [[Calik Holding|Calik]] possesses 80% of the company and [[Türk Telekom]] the remaining 20%.

==Background==
Eagle Mobile is a former brand name of [[ALBtelecom]] based in [[Albania]] and, starting from August 2017, it became known as ALBtelecom Mobile.

The former, Eagle Mobile, entered as the 3rd operator of mobile telephony in Albania on 12 March 2008.

The operator was established on October 23, 2003, from the Albanian government as an integral part of ALBtelecom, a fixed telephony operator in Albania.

The privatization started in 2005 and was finalised on September 28, 2007, when one of the biggest companies in [[Turkey]],
[[Calik Holding|Çalik Group]], purchased 76% of the shares along with its partner [[Türk Telekom]]. The other 24% of the shares belong to the [[Albanian government]].

===Privatisation===
The agreement was signed from the Minister of Economy, Trade and Energy, Genc Ruli and the President of Çalik Holding, Ahmet Çalik, in Tirana. In March 2008, the prime ministers of Albania and Turkey, Sali Berisha and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan greeted each other upon a symbolic "ALO" which opened officially the communication of Eagle Mobile, the company which carried the symbol of Albania and Albanians, the Eagle.

Eagle Mobile entered the Albanian market of telecommunication on March 12, 2008. 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. On December 31, 2008, the company attained coverage by 97% of the population of the country and 90.7% of the territory of the country and provided services to the whole Albania.

ALBtelecom and Eagle invested 150 million Euro, providing job possibilities to around 1000 Albanian professionals, the majority of them women. With the network made by more than 377 base stations, Eagle has the best coverage with 92.5 percent of the territory and 98.5 percent of population.

Back in 2013, Eagle had more than 1,470,000 subscribers,((citation needed|date = February 2013)) and 150 shops across Albania.

The CEO of ALBtelecom Mobile is Tahsin Yilmaz.

'''Display Name'''
 
The display name of ALBtelecom is: '''ALBtelecom, but''' some phones might display the old name which was '''EAGLE AL'''.
==Services==

ALBtelecom Mobile (former Eagle) is the third operator in Albania to provide [[3G]] technology. In February 2012 a tender for the third 3G license in Albania where the minimum acceptable price was [[Euro|€]]12.5 million failed after Eagle mobile offered €3.55 million and Plus offered €3.55 million.<ref name="Third 3G tender ends in failure">((cite web|title=Third 3G tender ends in failure|url=http://www.telegeography.com/products/commsupdate/articles/2012/02/27/third-3g-tender-ends-in-failure/|work=TeleGeography))</ref> Another tender was held in October of the same year. This time it was for two 3G licenses and the starting bid was 4 million euros. Eagle Mobile offered 4.355 million Euros while Plus only 1, making Eagle the only one to acquire the 3G license. The first 3G license was won by Vodafone Albania, bidding 31.4 million Euros and the second one by AMC after a 15.1 million Euros bid.<ref name="3G license with two offers, 4 Million and 1 Euro">((cite web|title=3G license with two offers, 4 Million and 1 Euro|url=http://news.albanianscreen.tv/pages/news_detail/48435/ENG|work=Albanian Screen))</ref>

In the beginning of 2013 Eagle Mobile launched its first 3G network, with coverage initially available in the region of Tirana, Fushëkruja and Airport.<ref name="Eagle Mobile Launches 3G Network in Albania">((cite web|title=Eagle Mobile Launches 3G Network in Albania|url=http://www.cellular-news.com/story/58842.php|work=Cellular-news))</ref>
