Mr. E. T. Fisk, managing director of Amalgamated Wireless, Limited, discussing the success of the radio telephone service, said there was an even more wonderful age before the world. “The next radio telephone service which we hope to establish,” he said, “will be between Australia and New Zealand, which project is now under consideration. It is merely a matter of repeating the process now in operation between Sydney and London. Then will follow a service between Australia, the United States and the rest of the world.”

Mr. Fisk added: “While British experts claimed that the Anglo-Australian, service could not be accomplished, we always maintained it ‘was possible, as we proved last night.” Traffic on the wireless telephone between Australia and London is already heavy. There were twenty-four calls at £6 each last night, and a maximum number has been booked for to-night. Applications for calls at the London end are equally satisfactory.
