History
On May 1, 1945 the National Radio Broadcasting Service and the National Telephone Service were merged into the National Telegraph and Telephone Service, better known as the LTT.
The highlights of the past 58 years are the conversion of the National Telegraph and Telephone Service in the National Telegraph and Telephone Company in 1973, and the conversion of the LTT (state-owned company) into Telesur. In this conversion the state-owned company was given legal personality, Sui Generis.
In 1920, the Surinamese Bauxite Company was granted a concession for the establishment of a radio station in Paramaribo (Cultuurtuin) and one on its concession plant at Moengo in the Marowijne District, exclusively for its private connection with its company at Moengo and with the ships that transported the ore to the United States of America.
The telegraphic connection of Suriname with foreign countries was then still in the hands of the French Cable Company Societe Francaise des Telegraphes Sousmarines that, on September 18, 1889, obtained a license to connect Suriname with the global telegraphic network via underwater cables.
On March 16, 1925, the radio station in Paramaribo was transferred to the Surinamese Government for the price of 1 guilder. On this occasion, the Surinamese Bauxite Company, in addition to more profitable concession conditions for its ore, was also granted the right of free telegram traffic between Paramaribo and Moengo. Some years later, the station at Moengo was also transferred to the Surinamese Government.
Telesur provides for the telecommunications needs of its clients via its national network.
