History
An undersea telegraph cable from Malta was first laid to Sicily in 1857 and to Egypt in 1868[2] by various operations which came to be consolidated in 1928 into one company which was renamed Cable & Wireless in 1934. The Telemalta Corporation Act of 1974 created Telemalta, which was given monopoly rights as both the operator and regulator of all telecommunications services.[3] Maltacom was created in 1997 as a public limited company and assumed the assets of Telemalta. The Government of Malta retained a 60% stake in Maltacom and sold 40% to the general public by 1998.[4]
