Copenhagen Telephone Company, Public telephone service in Denmark was instituted by International Bell Telephone Company, which in 1881 opened a central office in Copenhagen. In 1882 the business was taken over by the Kjobenhavns Telefonselskab, which was the Copenhagen Telephone Company, and in 1894 by Copenhagen Telephone Company, Incorporated, (Kjobenhavns Telefon Aktieselskab or KTAS) under the laws of the Kingdom of Denmark. The company was owned in part by the Danish government and was the sole supplier of telephone service on the Danish islands of Zealand, w Copenhagen is located. In 1912 the Copenhagen Main Exchange introduced a telephone set that was manufactured at Telefon Fabrik Automatic in Copenhagen. Prior to the development of this set, wall telephones were the most common, as table models cost extra.
