MARCONI LOOKS AHEAD
BRITISH AND DOMINION TELEPHONY LINK DIFFICULTIES NEGLIGIBLE (United Service) LONDON, Thursday. Speaking to a representative of the “Daily News,” the Marquis Marconi said there was no reason -why Britain should not be linked up by wireless telephony with all the Dominions. His company was only awaiting a word from the Post Office authorities before establishing a regular commercial service, such as Germany’s beam telephone to South America, which was aboift as far as South Africa. The fact that the thanksgiving service for the King’s recovery on July 7 was relayed to the Dominions via Canada proved that the technical difficulties in connection with a regular service were negligible. Marquis Marconi said he did not know why beam telephony had not been established, except perhaps that the Post Office authorities wanted to leave his company wireless telegraphy and keep wireless telephony themselves.
