History
TTCL comes forth from the former East African telecommunications provider. In 1933, the former East African Post and Telegraph Company was incorporating the Tanganyikan, Kenyan and Ugandan Postal, Telegraph and Telephone providers. The East African Posts and Telecommunication Act causes the formation of the East African Posts and Telecommunications Administration in 1951.
In 1967,the East African Community (EAC) was founded and replaced the East African Common Service Organization, in the aftermath, the East African Post and Telecommunications Corporation (EAP&TC) was established and replaced the East African Posts and Telecommunications Administration.
The breaking up of EAC in 1977 forces EAC member countries again to re-establish their own national Postal, Telegraph and Telephone businesses. Therefore in 1978 in Tanzania a parastatal was established under the name Tanzania Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (TPTC).
Telecommunication sector liberalization process in 1993 in Tanzania again causes the spliting up of the TPTC. In this context, the TPTC split into three separate entities, namely the Tanzania Posts Corporation, the Tanzania Telecommunications Company Limited (TTCL), and the Tanzania Communication Commission (TCC).
TTCL was responsible for Telecommunication services and it was established based on Parliamentary Act, “The Tanzania Telecommunication Company Incorporation Act of 1993”. TTCL officially started operations on January 1, 1994. TTCL's main statutory function was to establish, develop and operate telecommunication and all incidental services within and outside Tanzania in accordance with a licence issued by the Tanzania Communication Commission (TCC).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
