The '''Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation''' (CTO) traces to the [[British Empire]]'s [[All Red Line|Pacific Cable Board]] in 1901, though in its current form, was created by [[international treaty]], the ''Commonwealth Telegraphs Agreement'' between [[Commonwealth Nations|Commonwealth]] nations signed in [[London]] on 11 May 1948.<ref>{{cite web|title=Commonwealth Telegraphs Agreement, and Protocol [1957] ATS 21|url=http://www3.austlii.edu.au/au/other/dfat/treaties/1957/21.html|website=www3.austlii.edu.au|publisher=Australasian Legal Information Institute|accessdate=18 June 2017}}</ref>

The CTO connects government and non-government entities to enhance cooperation in [[information and communication technology]] (ICT).<ref>{{cite web|title=About - CTO: Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation|url=http://www.cto.int/about-the-cto/|website=www.cto.int|accessdate=19 June 2017}}</ref>

== History ==
To oversee the completion of the [[All Red Line]] [[Electrical telegraph|telegraph]] system interlinking the British Empire, the Pacific Cable Board was formed in 1901.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=The CTO – a brief history {{!}} CTO: Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation |url=http://www.cto.int/about-the-cto/the-cto-a-brief-history/ |accessdate=19 June 2017 |website=www.cto.int |publisher=Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation}}</ref>

In the final years of the British Empire, with a number of states federated or close to independence, a treaty with clearer financial divisions, responsibilities, and governance was established that would eventually replace the Pacific Cable Board. The ''Commonwealth Telegraph Agreement'' was signed between Commonwealth nations in London, 1948 that formed the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation.<ref name=":0" />
