In the past, such and similar telegrams were sent from the second half of the 1800s. The word Stop replaced the period and died out after a while, but this information transmission was very popular for more than a hundred years because of its relative speed.

The decision was justified by the fact that the demand for telegrams has decreased significantly in the past decade, and that many European countries have already discontinued such services.
