Abstract
Until 1989, telecommunication in Central European Countries (CECs) was fully monopolized, along with many other spheres of community and economic life. Telecommunications served three essential purposes:
-
as a stimulant of economic development,
-
as a medium for interpersonal communication within society, and
-
as a factor determining the internal and external security of the State.
