Plus Communication, live network inauguration.

Plus Communication the newest mobile operator in Albania started today it's activity on the market. One day before the Independence day that is celebrated on 28.11.2010.
Plus is the brand name the Company Directors choose for the fourth Mobile Operator that is trying to enter in a full loaded market. But a market that is also attractive because of its ability to return the investment, specially for telecommunications.
All three operators in Albania claim to have a big number of subscribers that if you make a total of them can make more than the registered living population that makes around 3 million persons. The market is already filled with mobile communications if you look it from a statistical point of view. But if you look and study Albanian phenomenas, may see that the persons in Albania have a thirst for technology. They love technology and everything that is new and latest in the market.
For example, here is where you can see the little country comparing to the sales of LCD TV with big European countries.
As the people are technology lovers, Plus is expecting fast entrance in the market and in a long time to be the Leader of the market. Plus claims to be the only mobile operator that is fully Albanian, that means a company that will prosper growth of the Albanian economy, because the gains will remain and reinvested in Albania.
Today is the the first day and in the coming days the prepaid sim cards will be sold on the market. Let's hope the one who will profit from the company will be the customers, from the competition on the market. Lets hope that now Vodafone, AMC, Eagle Mobile and Plus Communication will offer lower prices.

Excpectations Schengen for Albania

Glorious day for Albanian Citizens.
From 18-th of December the Albanian citizens will join the visa liberalization scheme on European Union. They can move freely on Schengen territories without a visa permission. This is a long waited day from Albanians and they are looking to join EU so far. New biometric passport release by the Albanian government give them the right to move around Schengen territories.
Since the fall of communism in 1991 the Albanians have tried in many ways to migrate from their territory. They have used every mean to do this. Ships, boats, fake passports and even by foot to the territory near Greece. In the last 3 years the government made a lot of reforms by strengthening the Country boarders and putting a lot of control on it. These actions and a lot of technical requests given by the European Union made possible the free movement.
The doubt now stays on the Albanian citizens. Will they violate the law for touristic movement? Some voices from EU say that they trust on Albanians to be respectful with the law and not to break it once they will pass the board. If the break of the law will happen than the visa regime can be settled back again.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had put some television spots in order to make clear to their citizens that the visa liberalization regime is not meant for work purpose or for a longer stay than 90 days during 6 months. Even tho the Government is trying hard you can see freely that the people have a thirst of being free, so these movements have to be under strict and careful monitoring.
Most of the interviewed persons during television debates are at the age of 60 or above, that means that these people are not going to stay in Europe. They are not able for work so they probably are going for a visit to see their familiars. The younger people already have a work for living. The persons that are suspicious are the ones that until yesterday were traveling from the mountains through Greece to make any work for living . This category constitutes the age from 15 to 50 years old. That is the most problematic and the one that the Government should give better information, or even better should provide a work in their home country.
What we will see is unpredictable, but let's hope for positive. Let's hope that the action of a minority wont destroy dreams and rights of the majority.

Time congestion limit exceeded

Funny tittle? I know i'm taking spot to write this article in a moment of a time congestion. The day didn't started at all as a normal one and could be entitled as wasted. Waking up not in the morning but after 4 hours compared to the normal days. It was my day of the second shift and it turned up in a staying for doing NOTHING. Sweetnes of Doing Nothing. This is the word i heared in a film with Julia Roberts. I'm still at work and i have to be here for at least 3 hour so this congestion will persist.
The congestion describes the way you feel sometimes. Did you ever had the feeling that the time was not passing. This often happens to me when im in bad company or when im doing nothing.
And when you enjoy something does it ever happen that you do not have enough time??
Well now im i congestion limit. the time does not pass so i have to fight with it again, again and back again........
