Lattelekom is a Latvian internet service provider (ISP) and telecom company.
As of 2003, Lattelekom employs about 3,000 people, has annual revenues of 140 million lats (approx. 310 million US dollars) and profit of 27 million lats (50 million US dollars).
History
Lattelekom is a former state-owned telecommunications company. In 1994, 49% of the company's stock was sold to two foreign investors: Cable and Wireless and Telecom Finland (now part of TeliaSonera). Cable and Wireless later sold its stake to TeliaSonera which now owns 49% of the company. The remaining 51% of the company still belong to Latvian government. Further privatization is being discussed.
Lattelekom had a monopoly on fixed-line voice communications in Latvia until January 1, 2003. The Latvian fixed telecommunications market is now open to competition but Lattelekom still has an overwhelming share of the market. The company is also one of leading ISP's in Latvia and is one of owners of Latvijas Mobilais Telefons, Latvia's largest mobile phone operator.
