Note 74 — Chapter XIX · ATLANTIC CABLE SYSTEMS OF TO-DAY
Reading edition
Wireless telegraphy is at present a comparatively slow working affair; and if it is to successfully compete with our Atlantic cables, this means a great multiplication of transatlantic circuits all more or less close together, and, in consequence, all more or less liable to interfere with each other under existing conditions. Probably, however, any new company formed for the purposes of telegraphic communication between different countries would not confine itself—either in name or practise—to cables, but would also cultivate the “wireless” system of telegraphy.
