History

The Syrian Telecommunications Establishment was established on July 10, 1975, by the Decree No. 1935, as the country's main public telecommunications operator and a government body under the Ministry of Telecommunications and Technology, tasked with managing the country's public switched telephone network and related infrastructure. As a state-owned entity, STE held a monopoly on fixed-line telephony, international calls, and telex services, reflecting Syria's centralized economic model under Ba'athist rule, which prioritized state control over utilities.
