PROGRESS OF RADIO
ENGLAND-INDIA SERVICE.
(British Official Wireless.)
(Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, February 2. Two-way conversations by radio telephone between London and Poona are now taking place, and it is anticipated that the new service will be officially inaugurated in a few days possibly with a conversation between the Viceroy of India speaking from Bombay and Mr Ramsay MacDonald. At first the service will be confined to Bombay but will soon be pushed 1000 miles across the Continent to Calcutta and gradually take in all India. London has now become the acknowledged centre of radio telephony and since 1927, when the United States, Mexico and Cuba were linked up, radio telephonic communication has been established with Australia, Argentine, Chile, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa, Egypt and Canada. In many of these countries also all communications with the Continent pass through London.
