SIR JOSEPH. I polished up that handle so carefullee That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee! CHORUS. He polished up that handle so carefullee, That now he is the ruler of the Queen's Navee.

SIR JOSEPH. I copied all the letters in a hand so free, That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee! CHORUS. He copied all the letters in a hand so free, That now he is the Ruler of the Queen's Navee!

The interconnectivity problem Should AT&T have to offer long distance connections to independent telephone companies? Should Marconi operators have to communicate with other wireless services Should all instant messenger services be able to communicate with each other? Should big phone/broadband companies today offer access to all servers at equal rates for comparable bandwidth use? Should cable companies have to run all TV digital multichannels?

Russo-Japanese War, 1905

We don’t care; we don’t have to; we’re the Navy We don’t care about your patents We don’t care about your bottom line expenses We don’t care about paying you on time We don’t care about your need to build equipment for consumers Nothing personal.

Players in the fight over broadcasting Marconi The Entrepreneurs (DeForest and others) The Navy The Press Public opinion

Fessenden’s Christmas radio broadcast, 1906

De Forest Fleming valve

The Radio Act of 1912 Any "person, company, or corporation" using a radio transmitter must have a license Issued by the Department of Commerce Navy exempt from this statute Navy given best frequencies Amateurs given the worst Navy has right to clear airwaves upon reception of a distress signal

AT&T’s power AT&T had by 1913 bought out many independent telephone companies Often by bribery or outright political influence It also controlled Western Union Telegraph

The Kingsbury Commitment of 1913 AT&T VP Nathan Kingsbury sends letter to Attorney General, promising: –To divest itself of Western Union –To provide access to its wires to independents for long distance service –To stop acquiring new local companies without permission of state utilities commissions

The 1919 RCA Deal British Marconi sells its American division General Electric and American Marconi start a new corporation: The Radio Corporation of America RCA sells and leases wireless equipment in the U.S., manufactured by G.E. in cooperation with AT&T and Westinghouse The deal establishes precedent: Corporations will control broadcasting in the United States, with some regulation and anti-trust oversight by the state
