Cosmote Mobile Telecom.
(ATSE: COSMO)
Greece
Greece's largest mobile-phone company makes its first appearance on the IT100 list this year as it continues a push into Eastern Europe. After acquiring mobile operators in Romania, Bulgaria, and Macedonia last year, Chief Executive Evangelos Martigopoulos recently signed a $1.6 billion deal to take over Germanos, a Greek mobile-phone retailer with an extensive network of Eastern European stores that should boost Cosmote's profile even more. Revenues rose 13% in 2005, to $2.3 billion, with profits up 10%, to $436.5 million.
