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 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ 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. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host 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 web host'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 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 (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.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they 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 23:54, 31 July 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.

'''Telia Lietuva''', a member of [[Telia Company|Telia Company group]], is one of the largest telecommunication companies in the [[Baltic States]].

==History==
Founded in 1991 by [[Juozas Kazickas]] as Litcom, Omnitel was Lithuania's first private telecommunications company. In August 2004, Omnitel was acquired by [[TeliaSonera]].<ref name=baltic-times>((cite news|title=TeliaSonera acquires Omnitel entirely| url= http://www.baltictimes.com/news/articles/10753|work=The Baltic Times|date=August 26, 2004))</ref>

Omnitel was the first network operator in [[Lithuania]] to launch [[GSM]] services (in 1995) and one of the first companies in Europe having introduced packet data transfer technology [[GPRS]] (General Packet Radio Service) in its network. Omnitel was the first in Lithuania to start the commercial [[3G]] services in 2006, which was followed by the highest speed mobile internet [[HSDPA]].

In 2014, Omnitel was the first network operator to launch 4G services across Lithuania, which became fully covered in 2015.

In 2016, Omnitel and [[Teo LT|Teo]] began offering new joint services.<ref>[https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2015/12/01/791952/0/en/Teo-and-Omnitel-have-formed-a-joint-management-team.html Teo and Omnitel have formed a joint management team]</ref> In 2017, Omnitel was renamed to [[Telia Company|Telia LT]].<ref>((Cite news |last=Degutis |first=Gintautas |date=2017-02-01 |title=„Teo“ ir „Omnitel“ tampa „Telia Lietuva“ |language=lt |trans-title=Teo and Omnitel merge to form Telia LIthuania |work=Verslo Žinios |url=https://www.vz.lt/informacines-technologijos-telekomunikacijos/2017/02/01/teo-ir-omnitel-tampa-telia-lietuva |access-date=2023-10-04))</ref>

In 2018, Telia got permission to use the 3500Mhz band (Band 78) for [[5G]] trials and testing.

In March 2022, Telia LT started deactivating the 3G network to improve the coverage and quality of the 4G network; by the end of May, one-third of 3G base stations, serving about half of subscribers, were shut down.<ref>((Cite web |title=Telia shuts down a third of 3G base stations |url=https://www.commsupdate.com/articles/2022/06/06/telia-shuts-down-a-third-of-3g-base-stations/ |access-date=2022-07-12 |website=telegeography.com))</ref>

In November 2022, Telia LT shut down 3G in the whole country and reused the 3G band for 4G capacity layer to add more speed in the country together with bands 1 and 28.

In 2022 September, Telia LT turned on 5G on 700Mhz (Band 28) as 4G/5G and 3500Mhz (Band 78) as only 5G. <ref>((Cite web |title=Telia launches 5G Nationwide |url=https://www.telia.lt/pranesimai-spaudai/telia-5g-rysys-pasieke-80-proc-lietuvos-gyventoju |access-date=2022-09-26 |website=Telia.lt))</ref>

In June 2023, Telia covers 99% of Lithuania with [[Low Band 5G]], being the first operator to achieve that in [[the Baltics]].<ref>((Cite web |date=2023-07-07 |title=Telia, through strategic partnership with Ericsson, achieves unprecedented 99 percent 5G coverage in Lithuania |url=https://www.ericsson.com/en/press-releases/3/2023/telia-through-strategic-partnership-with-ericsson-achieves-unprecedented-99-percent-5g-coverage-in-lithuania |access-date=2023-10-04 |website=ericsson.com |publisher=[[Ericsson]]))</ref>
