In 1913, the Moroccan Postal Telephone and Telegraph was established before a Dahir related to the monopole of the state of Telegraphy and Telephony was published. In 1967, Morocco placed the first underwater cable between Tetouan, Morocco and Perpignan, France through the Mediterranean. A few years later, in 1970, a transmission via INTELSAT was introduced. The Telex service was then automated in 1971 just before the installating of a digital center in Fes.
