In December 2013, IPKO established a 3G network. Since deployment, IPKO has covered 80% of Kosovo’s population with 3G mobile internet, which equals to 43.7% of country’s territory. IPKO’s 3G network coverage initially covered centers of the major cities and towns in Kosovo, while there was a plan for 2014 to expand its 3G network reach, in order to cover 75% of the territory and 88% of the population. Ipko also offers 4G network across all Kosovo and offers free Wi-Fi access across its major cities.[1]

Digital cable and IPTV is now offered in the majority of the cities in Kosovo: Pristina, Gjilan, Ferizaj, Prizren, Mitrovica, Gjakova, Vučitrn, Vitina, Deçan, Klina, Peja, Kaçanik, Kamenica, Podujevo and Istok.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ a b The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
