ISPs are spread all over the country and people are spending more on electronics (i.e. computers) which both coincide with increased demand for the service. Also recently, Albania’s Minister of Innovation and [...]

Our science is so advanced that we have attached a severed human head. The Albanian bounces forward and [...]

Why number portability is not yet working for all Albanians!
Ever since the number portability option became operational in Albania, I’ve been looking to find out which of the four mobile operators in the country offers the best rates for my business and personal needs. If you are like me, you have to call other networks just besides the one you have your number with. [...]
