Telephone switchboard operators<br />
From the early years, telephone subscribers were<br />
connected manually by female telephone switchboard<br />
operators at the telephone exchanges. The telephone<br />
operators’ work was quite demanding and under strict<br />
supervision. At the large telephone exchanges, the young<br />
women were able to serve up to 500 calls an hour. Some<br />
telephone exchanges were not fully automated until the<br />
1970s.<br />

TV<br />
Jydsk Telefon was interested in cable TV as early as in<br />
1963, but the four regional telephone companies were<br />
not permitted to establish the cable network<br />
infrastructure until 1985. When the former regional<br />
companies merged in 1995, the TV businesses joined to<br />
become Tele Danmark Kabel TV, which was renamed<br />
YouSee in 2007. Continuous upgrades of the cable<br />
network infrastructure have subsequently made digital<br />
TV, HD and high-speed internet access available via the<br />
cable network. In 2005, IP technology allowed TV to be<br />
distributed via <strong>TDC</strong>’s broadband access on ADSL, and<br />
<strong>TDC</strong> TV was launched.<br />
