The wireless expert of the Evening News, commenting on the Marconi official statement, expressed the opinion that beam telephony may solve the broadcasting problem by the radiation of throe beams simultaneously from London to Australia, Canada, and South Africa; where they could be rebroadcasted or stored by a recording method and retransmitted at a suitable hour.—Sydney Sun Cable.
