History
The
exchange of Moscow City Telephone Network in 1890
Founded in 1882, the network has a long and glorious history. The Bell International Telephone Company built a manually operated exchange with a capacity of 800 numbers and 26 households signed up. In two years the roll had increased to 3,000.
In 1891, the Swedish-Danish-Russian Joint-Stock Company signed a contract to provide service to Moscow for 18 years. Progress continued apace. In 1987 the network was converted to electronic switching.
In 1994 the Moscow City Telephone Network was structured into a joint stock company. A minority stake is held by Svyazinvest, the holding company that owns majority stakes in Russia's big regional telecom operators (RTOs).
