The World Telecom Day is celebrated to commemorate the beginning of the telecom era in the world. On this day 144 years ago, twenty European countries met in Paris and formed an organization called ‘International Telegraph Union’ to give boost to the telegraph technology as the telephones were not invented by then. Later, in 1932, when telephony had taken roots in most of the countries, this organization was renamed as ‘International Telecom Union’. On May 17 1969, this Union decided to celebrate May 17 as the World Telecom Day, primarily to commemorate its origin in 1865. Since then, this day is being celebrated in most of the countries by way of organizing various activities connected with Telecommunications.
