The World Telecommunication Day ( s. : World Information Society Day ) was the 1967 International Telecommunication Union proclaimed and by the United Nations recognized as an international day of remembrance. Based on the founding date of the International Telecommunication Union ITU in 1865, the day takes place annually on May 17th .
The telecommunications means any exchange of information over a certain distance away.
Telecommunications is the German word belonging to the foreign word telecommunications. Since the mid-1990s, however, it has been used practically only in military facilities and in disaster control and has almost completely disappeared in everyday language, as the companies active in this area in particular use the word "telecommunications". In the narrower sense, telecommunication is understood today as data exchange using electrical engineering, electronics, radio engineering and other modern transmission technology.
Telecommunication facilities are an essential part of the infrastructure today. For this reason, to avoid spatial disparities, their provision is a joint task of spatial development and therefore in practice a state task.
