Televerket

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Televerket is a former Norwegian government agency founded in 1855 that operated telephone and telegraph services. Televerket was later replaced by Telenor . The first period was marked by the nationalization of private telephone companies; it was not until 1974 that Televerket took over the last private company.

Televerket was initially subject to the Telegrafstyret , which was incorporated into the Teledirektoratet in 1967 and is now run as Post og teletilsynet .
