The third company is Real Poptel, which resulted from a merger between Poptel Ltd and Real Data Services in 2003. It is owned by private equity firm Sum International, based in Geneva, Switzerland.
In 2004 the hardware section of the company parted to become Real Data Services Ltd once again. Leaving the ISP section behind and thus Real Poptel is now a pure ISP for residential, business and corporate clients.
