The Swiss [[Telegraphy|telegraph]] network was first set up in 1852, followed by [[telephone]]s in 1877. The two networks were combined with the [[Mail|postal service]] in 1920 to form [[Postal Telegraph and Telephone (Switzerland)|Postal Telegraph and Telephone]] (PTT). The Swiss [[telecommunication]]s market was deregulated in 1997. Telecom PTT was spun off and rebranded Swisscom ahead of a partial privatisation in 1997. The present-day Swisscom owns the protected brand [[Natel|NATEL]], which is used only in Switzerland.<ref name="A million customers already enjoy Swisscom TV">{{cite web|title=A million customers already enjoy Swisscom TV|url=https://www.swisscom.ch/content/dam/swisscom/en/about/media/fact-check/documents/20140106_Factsheet-SwisscomTV-EN.pdf.res/20140106_Factsheet-SwisscomTV-EN.pdf|website=swisscom.ch|publisher=Swisscom|access-date=25 January 2017|language=en}}</ref>
