About World Telecommunication and Information Society Day
World Telecommunication Day began in 1969. In 2006, it was combined with World Information Society Day under the current name. The date, 17 May, recalls the founding of the International Telecommunication Union and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865.
