Electricity
Long before the 19th century, people had acknowledged electronic forces
!
Benjamin Franklin’s famous Kite experiment in 1752 proved
that lightning was made of electricity

The Telegraph
!
From the Greek wordstele = far and graphein = write(símriti)!
Later to be called the “Victorian Internet”
![Page 23: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Simple device with battery and key for sending electric signals!
At the other end was a similar device emitting sound or printing the signal

The TelegraphSamuel F. B. Morse invented the first practicaltelegraph in 1837!
Granted a patent 1838!
Moore devised a telegraphic code consistingof dots and dashes!
Shorter and longer electric impulse send down the wire - The Morse Code!
Standardised messages
![Page 25: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The TelegraphThe Telegraph Business was born!
Morse sold licenses to companies that operated telegraph stations!
In 1851 there were over 50 companies in the US selling telegraph services – including Western Union !
Market consolidation

The Telephone
“Mr. Watson, come here, I want you!” - Alexander G. Bell, the first telephone
message
![Page 28: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Telephone
Invented in 1876At the time, the telegraph was dominantTransferred sound waves with electric current over wire!
Alexander G. Bell Created the first practical telephone!
Based on experiments and improvements in technology at the time
![Page 29: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The TelephoneBell was working on the harmonic telegraph !
A device that could send more then one telegraph message at the same time!
Worked with skilled machinist named Thomas A. Watson!
Joseph Henry encouraged him in 1875 to work on the telephone instread of the harmonic telegraph
![Page 30: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The telephone was based on variable resistance (breytilegu viðnámi)

The Importance of Patents
Bell filed a notice for a patent Feb. 14, 1876“The most valuable patent ever issued” Elisha Gray also filed a patent that same day!
The Patent Mystery It is still a mystery what happened that dayDid Bell see Gray’s patent and update his?Over 600 legal battles would challenge the patent
![Page 32: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Commercial Development
Bell had difficulty convincing contemporaries of the usefulness of the telephone - the telegraph prevailed!
Difficult to get investment!
Bell offered the patent to Western Union for $100.000 which they declined!
Bell continued and slowly telephonesstarted to replace telegraphs
![Page 33: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Bell Company
In 1877 Bell and his backers formed the first Bell Company!
Gardiner Hubbard and George Sanders!
Business model: Bell Company leased telephones and licensed franchises instead of selling them
![Page 34: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Battle with Western UnionWestern Union was very powerful company – near-monopoly in telegraphs with a huge network of wires!
Western Union started competing with Bell in 1877!
Founded American Speaking Telephone Company with Thomas Edison, Elisha Gray, Amos Dolbear!
Made many improvements
![Page 35: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Battle with Western UnionBell sued Western Union for patent infringements!
The case was settled in 1879!
Bell agreed not to go into the telegraph market, and Western Union agreed not to go into the telephone market!
Bell would buy Western Union’s telephone network with 50.000 subscribers in 50 cities and pay a license!
Stock in Bell’s company rose from $50 to $500 in 1879!
At least 1.730 telephone companies organised and operated during Bell’s patent protection
![Page 36: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Emergence of a new Market
Within few years many telephone companies were formed!
Bell licensed telephone equipment !
In 1878 • First commercial switchboard started operation• First telephone directory came out with fifty names• The Ringing was invented – and patented
![Page 37: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Telephone Giant is born
AT&T Founded in 1885 to raise capital to fund the continued expansion and protect the market positionConnected the RBOCs for long distance calls
!
Bell Became the largest telephone company
In 1982 Bell was worth $256 billionIn 1984, split into AT&T and seven other independent companies

“The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very
long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same,
only without the cat.” - Albert Einstein
Wireless Communication

History
At the dawn of the 20th century, two mediums for communication were dominant!
The telegraph: Became important in the American Civil War (1861-65), dominated by Western Union!
The telephone: Dominant technology with the growth of Bell!
Both these technologies had one problem: they were wire-based
![Page 41: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
HistoryKnowledge of radio waves is increasing!
Hertz proved Maxwell’s theories and demonstrated the existence of radio waves!
Next steps Commercial Solutions Many tried to build devices that sent and received “Hertzian waves”!
Wireless Telegraphy “Spark Transmitter” for sending signals – Morse Code The Prevailing Technology Trap
![Page 42: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Innovators
Guglielmo Marconi saw an opportunityin wireless communication!
Studied physics at the Universityof Bologna!
Several experiments in 1894 inBologna, Italy!
Marconi’s goal was to use hisknowledge developed in telephony
![Page 43: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The Product
Marconi was improving the telegraph!
“Spark Transmitter” where signals could represent the Morse code!
Potential market:Maritime market – British Royal NavyTransatlantic communication
![Page 44: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Marconi DemonstrationsMarconi provided public trails of his equipment!
Became a news item himself – provided interest in the technology and investing in his company
![Page 45: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Skepticism and CompetitionMany scientists were happy to point out flaws in Marconi’s inventions Many tried to discredit his work These were mostly scientists, others competitors!
Doubts that wireless had any application Limitations – radios worded on fixed frequency Security – anyone could listen in The telegraph was initially 20 times faster!
Cable companies showed no interest in wireless
![Page 46: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Wireless Telegraph BubbleWireless Telegraph was popular in the press Public demonstration!
Many companies competed for stock funding Resulted in Stock inflations
“The Wireless Telegraph bubble”!
Sceptic voices started to respond !
Series of articles in Success Magazine, “Fools and their money” appeared 1907
![Page 47: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The MarketThe market was where cables don’t work Ships became the prime market Airplanes when they became more common Military use – where cables cannot be laid Mobility – easy to move wireless equipment!
Problems No communication protocol was in use Each company had their own protocol
![Page 48: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Government RegulationNo regulations controlled the airwaves
The sinking of RMS Titanic prompted governments to set international standards of communicationThe Marconi operator on the Titanic sent “C.Q.D”

Wireless CommunicationAround 1940 ideas for wireless communication were established!
40-50 years would pass before common practical application of a mobile phone!
It was not until the development of microchips and technology for building devices, that wireless communication became practical for individuals!
Rules and cautiousness were to delay the progress!
Also investments in land based systems
![Page 52: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Wireless Communication
Wireless communication started early 20th centuryAdvanced during the wars
!
Wireless radio was important in WWIIMany innovations such as spread spectrum and frequency hopping
![Page 53: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Wireless Communication
After the war, use of wireless was restricted to certain professions– Military, Police, Fire Departments– Taxis
Not public solutions
![Page 54: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Mobile Radio Networks
The ideas for mobile radio networks were developed in the 1940s
Area of radio cells – Cellular networkEarly Systems
Bell Labs, AT&T International systems
![Page 55: New Technology Lecture L11 Connecting People](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555b6a56d8b42a66338b530e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Wireless technology and the idea of building a network of cells was understood in 1940s. Why did the public mobile phone not appear until in the late 1970s, early 80s?
