history
The company, founded in 1991 after Estonia gained independence, took over the existing state telephone network. The company started with a copper cable network from Soviet times and a long list of people waiting for a telephone connection. Equipped with an eight-year monopoly, the company invested in building a new telephone network. In the 1990s, he entered the Internet with the NETI search engine, Internet access under the Atlas brand and email under Hot . When the monopoly in the fixed network ended in 2000, the telephone services under et were positioned on the competitive market.
In 1993 the subsidiaries "Eesti Telefon" for the fixed network and EMT for the radio network were founded for operational business. Telecom Finland (later Sonera) and Telia from Sweden participated in them with capital and know-how . In 1999 the Estonian government brought 49% of its shares in the now holding company Eesti Telekom to the Tallinn and London stock exchanges . The Finnish and Swedish owners exchanged their shares in the subsidiaries for shares in the listed parent company and bundled them in "Baltic Tele AB", which from 2005 owned the majority of shares in Eesti Telekom. In 2008 the company's largest shareholders were Baltic Tele AB, which held 60% of the shares, and the State of Estonia with 24%. In 2009 the Telia Company, at that time still under the name "TeliaSonera AB", acquired the further 40% of the shares from the co-owners via the wholly-owned subsidiary Baltic Tele AB, whereupon the listing was terminated in January 2010.
