Cyprus Telecommunications
Telephone, telex, fax, and telegraph communications
between the
"TRNC" and the outside world were carried out via fully
automatic
exchange services. All villages and towns were connected
to this
system, and 40,000 households had telephones. Substantial
assistance from Turkey financed the modernization of the
telecommunications system. A further modernization of this
system,
planned in the late 1980s, included the installation of a
fully
computerized digital exchange system with fiber optic
lines. By
early 1990, some fiber optics were already in use. At the
beginning
of the 1990s there were 75,000 television sets (color and
black and
white) in the "TRNC." The state Bayrak Radio and
Television
Corporation had eight radio and three television stations.
