World Telecommunication Day and Information Society Day
The World Telecommunication Day and Information Society Day is celebrated each year on 17 May around the world. The day was formerly called World Telecommunications Day, but in November 2005, the World Summit on the Information Society called upon the UN General Assembly to declare 17 May as World Information Society Day. Since then, the day came to be known as World Telecommunication and Information Society Day after 2005.
