According to Brown, he was inspired to start the company after spotting a gap in the telecommunications market, and subsequently compiled the first complete list of foreign telephone plugs.[citation needed]

Six months after TeleAdapt's foundation, the company opened its first overseas office in America, and six months later opened another office in Australia.
