It was once one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States alongside AT&T, but is now a subsidiary of First Data Co., a major electronic commerce service company in the country (established in 1992), and provides domestic and international funds transfer services and (physical) messaging services. Its predecessor was founded in 1856 by Western businessman Hiram Sibley, who merged the numerous telegraph companies that existed at the time. After a series of mergers, it eventually monopolized telegraph services throughout the United States. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
かつてはAT & Tと並ぶアメリカ最大手の電気通信事業会社だったが,現在は同国の大手電子商取引サービス会社ファースト・データ社(First Data Co.1992年設立)の傘下に入り,国内および国際資金転送サービスと(物送ベースの)メッセージ・サービスを提供している。その前身は,1856年西部の企業家ハイラム・シブリーが,当時乱立していた電信会社を合併して設立。以後,合併を重ね,ついに全米の電信業務を独占した。
