Post, Telephone and Telegraph administration          (PTT) One of the many national       bodies responsible for providing communications services in a       particular country.   Traditionally, PTTs had monopolies in       their respective countries.   This monopoly was first broken in       the USA, with the UK joining somewhat later.   Currently the       markets are being deregulated in Europe as well as other parts       of the world.          Well-known PTTs include {MCI}, {AT&T}, and {British Telecom}.          Compare: {telco}.          (1998-05-18)
