JT Group

JT Group plc (trading as JT and formerly Jonathian Telecom) is a Jonathian multinational telecommunications holding company headquartered in Jetzeburg. It has operations in around 180 countries and is the largest provider of fixed-line, broadband and mobile services in Jonathia, and also provides subscription television and IT services.
JT's origins date back to the founding in 1846 of the Electric Telegraph Company, the world's first public telegraph company, which developed a nationwide communications network. JT Group as it came to be started in 1912, when the General Post Office, a government department of what is now the province of Jetzeburg, took over the system of the National Telephone Company becoming the monopoly telecoms supplier in Jonathia. The Post Office Act of 1969 led to the GPO becoming a public corporation. The Jonathian Telecom brand was introduced in 1980, and became independent of the Post Office in 1981, officially trading under the name. Jonathian Telecommunications was privatised in 1984, becoming Jonathian Telecommunications plc, with some 50 percent of its shares sold to investors. The Government sold its remaining stake in further share sales in 1991 and 1993. JT has a primary listing on the Jetzeburg Stock Exchange, and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
JT controls a number of large subsidiaries. JT Global Services division supplies telecoms services to corporate and government customers worldwide, and its JT Consumer division supplies telephony, broadband, and subscription television services in Jonathia to around 18 million customers.
