Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Directors of American Telephone and Telegraph Company to the Stockholders for the Year Ending December 31, 1913 Type after type of cable was installed only to be withdrawn in a few years and replaced by something better. By 1887 the introduction of the twisted pair underground conductor began. This meant the abandonment of the entire underground plant of the Bell System and the intro duction of the new type, without which the telephone system as we know it to-day would be an impossibility. Millions of dollars were spent in this construction and reconstruction and experimental work. By 1902 the art had so far advanced by the use of the Pupin loading coils and other improvements, that a loaded cable for subur ban service was successfully installed between New York and Newark. By 1905 we had a loaded cable twenty miles long ex tending from New York in the direction of Philadelphia, and by 1906 a cable 90 miles long was successfully operated between those two cities, but in the then state Of the art this cable could not be used beyond Philadelphia or New York. By 1911 our experiments, researches, and improvements in manufacture had SO advanced that we were enabled to design an underground cable, capable of giving a satis factory conversation between Washington and Boston. By 1912 a section of this new cable was laid from Washington to Philadelphia, there connecting with the earlier type of cable to New York. During 1913 a section of the new cable was laid between New Haven and Providence, connecting at New Haven to an earlier type of cable extending to New York, and connecting at Providence to an earlier type extending to Boston.

Book Description
A sweeping, revisionist historical analysis of telecommunications networks, from the dawn of the republic to the 21st century. Telecommunications networks are vast, intricate, hugely costly systems for exchanging messages and information-within cities and across continents. From the Post Office and the telegraph to today's internet, these networks have sown domestic division while also acting as sources of international power. In Crossed Wires, Dan Schiller, who has conducted archival research on US telecommunications for more than forty years, recovers the extraordinary social history of the major network systems of the United States. Drawing on arrays of archival documents and secondary sources, Schiller reveals that this history has been shaped by sharp social and political conflict and is embedded in the larger history of an expansionary US political economy. Schiller argues that networks have enabled US imperialism through a a recurrent "American system" of cross-border communications. Three other key findings wind through the book. First, business users of networks--more than carriers, and certainly more than residential users--have repeatedly determined how telecommunications systems have developed. Second, despite their current importance for virtually every sphere of social life, networks have been consecrated above all to aiding the circulation of commodities. Finally, although the preferences of executives and officials have broadly determined outcomes, these elites have repeatedly had to contend against the ideas and organizations of workers, social movement activists, and other reformers. This authoritative and comprehensive revisionist history of US telecommunications argues that not technology but a dominative--and contested--political economy drove the evolution of this critical industry.
