Prague to the East. In the near future, satellite communications will play an increasingly important role.

Their integration within the Czechoslovak communications network will probably occur in the next Five Year Plan, initially in relaying international television broadcasts and later in telephone communications. A Telecom Center currently under construction in Prague will serve as headquarters for the intercity and interstate dial telephone systems, for the telegraph service, and the telex system. It will rank Czechoslovakia's communications system as the best in Europe and will integrate the country into the main European trunk line network.
