I have seen this plate already many times but this time I decided to add one to my collection. Not that it is a beautiful item, or a special collectible, but just because it has some interesting telecom history.

Established in Jutland Denmark in 1895 this telecommunication provider was initially called Jutland Telephone corporation. Nowadays it is part of TDC (est. 2000), after a merger in 1992 with Tele Danmark. In that merger the nationwide company was formed by joining KTAS, Jydsk Telefon, Tele Sønderjylland, Fyns Telefon, and Rigstelefonen.

This is very different of how things were organized in The Netherlands where there was a monopoly already since 1893.
