In January 2023, Albtelecom and One merged to become One Albania. In 2019, Deutsche Telekom agreed to sell the company to Albania Telecom Invest, a company owned by Spas Roussev and Elvin Guri. The company was then sold to the Hungarian company 4iG in March 2022, with the Albanian Competition Authority approving the sale. Following this, 4iG transferred ownership of the company to Antenna Hungária, raising its stake in the company to 76%.
