The company, founded in 1991 after the independence of Estonia, took over the existing government telephone network. The company started with a copper cable network from the Soviet Russian period and a long list of people who were waiting for a telephone connection. Equipped with an eight -year monopoly, the company invested in building a new telephone network. In the 1990s there was an entry into the Internet with the NETI search engine, internet access under the ATLAS brand and email at hot. When the monopoly ended in the landline in 2000, telephone services were positioned under ET on the competition market.[2]
