The Federal Office for Approvals in Telecommunications (German: Bundesamt für Zulassungen in der Telekommunikation, BZT) was a federal agency in Germany responsible for approving telecommunication devices. It was seated in Saarbrücken.[1]

History

[edit]

The BZT was founded in 1982.[2]

Criticism

[edit]

Because cheap modems from the United States were banned, the Chaos Computer Club published schematics of modems. The Datenklo modem became well known.[3]
