context_page_description: CYTA Ltd. is the telecommunications provider of Cyprus.
  The Cyprus Telecommunications Authority, a semi-governmental organisation incorporated by law, is the leading provider of Integrated Electronic Communications in Cyprus. Originally established as Cyprus Inland Telecommunications Authority in 1955, it was renamed Cyta in 1961 after taking control of external communications from Cable and Wireless Ltd.
  It is the dominant provider of fixed line telecommunications, mobile telecommunications and Ιnternet access in Cyprus.
context_section_description: Nowadays, Cyta provides a broad range of services and facilities for voice and data applications in both fixed and mobile telephony. Particular emphasis is placed on the provision of value added services, such as content/multimedia via the Internet which, according to industry projections, will be the dominant business activity of the next decade.
  Building on its role as a telecommunications hub in the South-Eastern Mediterranean, Cyta expanded its operations in the Greek market, offering broadband Internet and fixed telephony services in specific areas of Greece, with plans for further expansion in the future. It also operates in the British market, under the brand Cyta UK, offering "tailored network solutions" to customers based on the IP-MPLS platform. Central and Eastern Europe are markets that have also been targeted.
  In recent years and following Cyprus’ accession to the European Union in 2004, Cyta faced a number of challenges with regards to the legal implications and regulations of operating within the European Bloc, the fierce competition this brings as well as the ever-changing developments in telecommunications.
