A 110-kilometer line between the two locations was put into service in 1914. A 518km line between Kathmandu and Dhankuta was constructed in 1936, and Palpa was connected to Kathmandu with a 240km telephone line. In 1935, the installation of 25 'automatic' telephone lines in Kathmandu. Almost two decades later, in 1953, Palpa and Bhairahawa were connected. Dhulikhel were connected with Kathmandu with a 29km line. An exchange called Central Battery (CB) was installed in 1950, and for the first time, telecommunication service was opened to the public. The exchange capacity was increased to 300 in 1957.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |url=https://npc.gov.np/images/category/fourth_eng.pdf |title=Fourth Plan - National Planning Commission |pages=172 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230114012039/https://npc.gov.np/images/category/fourth_eng.pdf |archive-date=14 January 2023}}</ref>
Wireless service first started in Nepal in 1950 with service to Kathmandu, Bhairahawa, Illam, Dhankuta, and Biratnagar. 1952 saw the expansion of service to Doti, Dang, Jumla, Dailekh, Sallyan, Okhaldhunga, and Rajbiraj. Servers to Jaleshwar, Ramechhap, Bandipur, Terathum, Taplejung, Dandeldhura, and Baitadi were added later. Sub-stations were also set up in Baglung, Palpa, and Dhangadi in 1952. Similarly, new stations were added in Pokhara, Bhojpur, and Birgunj.<ref name=":0" />Initially, the Department of Communications oversaw the postal service and Telecommunications, together. However, 1959 saw the creation of a separate Department of Telecommunication.<ref name=":0" />
Nepal Telecom was legally founded as a fully owned Government Corporation called Nepal Telecommunications Corporation in 2032 B.S for the goal of offering telecommunications services after the adoption of the Communications Corporation Act 2028. Moreover, Nepal Telecommunication Corporation was turned into Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited (NDCL) on Baisakh 1, 2061, after serving the people for 29 years with tremendous pleasure and achievement.
The Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited was incorporated under the Companies Act of 2053. Although, the company's registered trademark "Nepal Telecom-NT" or "Nepal Telecommunication Corporation-NTC" is well known among the general population. This is where Nepal Telecom's tale starts.
After 2060 B.S., Nepal Telecom began offering [[GSM]] (Global System for Mobile Communication) services to the entire population. In addition to GSM, Nepal Telecom offers [[Code-division multiple access|CDMA]] (Code Division Multiple Access), EVDO, ADSL, FTTH, and other services.
Nepal Telecom continues to upgrade and update its services, providing the most up-to-date services ranging from early [[General Packet Radio Service|GPRS]], [[High Speed Packet Access|HSDPA]], [[3G]], and now [[4G-LTE filter|4G/LTE]]. Nepal Telecom has also begun a [https://www.nepalitelecom.com/ntc-5g-trial 5G trial] in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Birgunj, which is still limited to internal testing.
As a public business, Nepal Telecom is solely responsible for providing services to all parts of the country. They are offering services in rural parts where other operators have failed in their sense of responsibilities.<ref>{{cite web |title=The marching history of Nepal Telecom and its details in telecom field in Nepal. |url=https://www.telecomkhabar.com/2019/06/history-of-nepal-telecom-and-details/ |website=Telecomkhabar |date=6 June 2019 |access-date=1 June 2022}}</ref>

Wireless service first started in Nepal in 1950 with service to Kathmandu, Bhairahawa, Illam, Dhankuta, and Biratnagar. 1952 saw the expansion of service to Doti, Dang, Jumla, Dailekh, Sallyan, Okhaldhunga, and Rajbiraj. Servers to Jaleshwar, Ramechhap, Bandipur, Terathum, Taplejung, Dandeldhura, and Baitadi were added later. Sub-stations were also set up in Baglung, Palpa, and Dhangadi in 1952. Similarly, new stations were added in Pokhara, Bhojpur, and Birgunj.<ref name=":0" />Initially, the Department of Communications oversaw the postal service and Telecommunications, together. However, 1959 saw the creation of a separate Department of Telecommunication.<ref name=":0" />
Nepal Telecom was legally founded as a fully owned Government Corporation called Nepal Telecommunications Corporation in 2032 B.S for the goal of offering telecommunications services after the adoption of the Communications Corporation Act 2028. Moreover, Nepal Telecommunication Corporation was turned into Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited (NDCL) on Baisakh 1, 2061, after serving the people for 29 years with tremendous pleasure and achievement.
The Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited was incorporated under the Companies Act of 2053. Although, the company's registered trademark "Nepal Telecom-NT" or "Nepal Telecommunication Corporation-NTC" is well known among the general population. This is where Nepal Telecom's tale starts.
After 2060 B.S., Nepal Telecom began offering [[GSM]] (Global System for Mobile Communication) services to the entire population. In addition to GSM, Nepal Telecom offers [[Code-division multiple access|CDMA]] (Code Division Multiple Access), EVDO, ADSL, FTTH, and other services.
Nepal Telecom continues to upgrade and update its services, providing the most up-to-date services ranging from early [[General Packet Radio Service|GPRS]], [[High Speed Packet Access|HSDPA]], [[3G]], and now [[4G-LTE filter|4G/LTE]]. Nepal Telecom has also begun a [https://www.nepalitelecom.com/ntc-5g-trial 5G trial] in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Birgunj, which is still limited to internal testing.
As a public business, Nepal Telecom is solely responsible for providing services to all parts of the country. They are offering services in rural parts where other operators have failed in their sense of responsibilities.<ref>{{cite web |title=The marching history of Nepal Telecom and its details in telecom field in Nepal. |url=https://www.telecomkhabar.com/2019/06/history-of-nepal-telecom-and-details/ |website=Telecomkhabar |date=6 June 2019 |access-date=1 June 2022}}</ref>

A 110-kilometer line between the two locations was put into service in 1914. A 518km line between Kathmandu and Dhankuta was constructed in 1936, and Palpa was connected to Kathmandu with a 240km telephone line. In 1935, the installation of 25 'automatic' telephone lines in Kathmandu. Almost two decades later, in 1953, Palpa and Bhairahawa were connected. Dhulikhel were connected with Kathmandu with a 29km line. An exchange called Central Battery (CB) was installed in 1950, and for the first time, telecommunication service was opened to the public. The exchange capacity was increased to 300 in 1957.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-14">[14]</a></sup>
</p><p>Wireless service first started in Nepal in 1950 with service to Kathmandu, Bhairahawa, Illam, Dhankuta, and Biratnagar. 1952 saw the expansion of service to Doti, Dang, Jumla, Dailekh, Sallyan, Okhaldhunga, and Rajbiraj. Servers to Jaleshwar, Ramechhap, Bandipur, Terathum, Taplejung, Dandeldhura, and Baitadi were added later. Sub-stations were also set up in Baglung, Palpa, and Dhangadi in 1952. Similarly, new stations were added in Pokhara, Bhojpur, and Birgunj.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-14">[14]</a></sup>Initially, the Department of Communications oversaw the postal service and Telecommunications, together. However, 1959 saw the creation of a separate Department of Telecommunication.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_14-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-14">[14]</a></sup>
</p><p>Nepal Telecom was legally founded as a fully owned Government Corporation called Nepal Telecommunications Corporation in 2032 B.S for the goal of offering telecommunications services after the adoption of the Communications Corporation Act 2028. Moreover, Nepal Telecommunication Corporation was turned into Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited (NDCL) on Baisakh 1, 2061, after serving the people for 29 years with tremendous pleasure and achievement.
</p><p>The Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited was incorporated under the Companies Act of 2053. Although, the company's registered trademark "Nepal Telecom-NT" or "Nepal Telecommunication Corporation-NTC" is well known among the general population. This is where Nepal Telecom's tale starts.
