The Imperial Telegraph Administration (ITA)〔Harwit, Eric. ''(China's Telecommunications Revolution )'', p. 28. Oxford University Press, 2008. ISBN 0-19-923374-8.〕 or Imperial Chinese Telegraph Administration (ICTA)〔Chiba, Masashi. "(The nationalization of the Chinese telegraph industry in the late Qing period )". ''Socio-Economic History Society'', Vol. 63, No. 6.〕 was a Qing-era government-controlled corporation (spec. ''guandu shangban'') supervised by Sheng Xuanhuai. The ITA was established in AD 1881〔 and swiftly given a monopoly on Chinese telegraphy. By 1900 the ITA administered 14,000 miles of telegraph wires and supervised another 20,000 miles under local control.〔 The same year, it absorbed the infant Chinese telephone network started in Nanjing. It was nationalized in 1902 to allow otherwise unprofitable usage rates and expansion of the network〔 or to gain control of its profits.〔 The ITA was then absorbed by the newly formed Ministry of Posts and Communications in 1906. Following nationalization, control alternated between Sheng and his political rival Tang Shaoyi. ==See also== * Qing dynasty * Hundred Days' Reform * Telecommunications in the People's Republic of China 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Imperial Chinese Telegraph Administration」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
