Before a change of ownership, the company was known as Telecom Services Kiribati Limited or short TSKL.
Until 2007 the company maintained the country's ccTLD, .ki, which is now under the control of a separate agency, Telecommunications Authority of Kiribati.
Although originally a venture between the Kiribati government and the Overseas Telecommunications Commission International of Australia, it was quickly privatised.
The company has started a yellow pages directory to list the ever growing citizens with telephone numbers.
[1] The mobile telephone system originally used analog technology but in 2005 this was switched to a GSM variant.
Also as part of this upgrade GSM phone service is now available on Kiritimati, Abaiang, Marakei, Maiana, Tab.
