OBS

The International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) was born out of the need to engineer the telephone networks properly, i.e. to maximize the utilization of network resources and to maintain a high quality of service. By that time, networks and the service providers were either monopoly businesses or government owned and run. The First ITC was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, the place where A.K. Erlang developed fundamental theories in the field of teletraffic. Its purpose was to develop teletraffic theory and its application to the design, planning and operations of telecommunications systems, networks and services. Its roots were based on the theory of profitability and stochastic processes for the proper characterization and description of traffic phenomena.
