So 150 years ago the development of telegraph communication in Belarus began. At present Minsk telegraph is the main national telegraphic communication centre. National telecommunication operator RUE “Beltelecom” does some services based on telegraphic communication in Belarus. Communication in any place, at any time, without obstacles began from the simple telegraph, and in Belarus — from the telegraph line between Minsk and Bobruisk. |
