The company is owned by the US Nexcom Telecommunications, LLC, one of the first operators in the world, developing the Voice over Internet protocol technology (VoIP). Nexcom is the first operator in Bulgaria, providing products and services, based on the VoIP technology. Prior to selling its wholesale operations in 2003, Nexcom was the leading alternative telecommunications provider in 12 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe.

The company is licensed by the Communications Regulation Commission for a full range of telecommunication services, giving the opportunity for a complete replacement of the incumbent telecommunications operator. A part of the licenses, owned by Nexcom are:
