- "The
Purpose of a Wireless
Telephone
TimeLine and its Relevance of
the
Internet"
By Troy
Cory-Stubblefield /

A
good TimeLine is a preventative
measure.
In fact, if it wasn't
for a timeline, the rigging of
who invented the Wireless
Telephone and the Internet, would
have blinked away history to the
gods.
-----The inventor of the
wireless telephone . . . Was it -
- Bill Gates? • Marconi?
• Einstein? •
Stubblefield? • Steve Jobs?
• Bluetooth? • Gen.
Squier? • Lee DeForest?
• George Lucas? • Steve
Jobs? • David Sarnoff??
• Chancy Cab? or the FCC?
*(See
Footnote.)
-----Like the wireless
radio telephone, important pages
of Internet and Web history --
will be shaded, jaded and will be
purposely eliminated from history
books and National encyclopedias,
misinforming whole new
generations.
----- Maybe the first
wireless voice broadcast was in
1978 - when Apple co-founder
Steve Wozniak wrote Integer
BASIC, the first language
available for the Mac, that was
quickly supplanted in popularity
by Microsoft Applesoft
BASIC.
-----Perhaps it was on
January 1, 1892, when a Kentucky
newspaper announced that N.B.
Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky
had broadcast voices over one
mile without wires -- or,
perchance, you believe that it
was Marconi's December 12, 1901,
trans-Atlantic spark transmission
denoting the letter "S" of the
Morse Code, was the first.
----- If it wasn't
1978,1902 or 1892, maybe it was
on Christmas Eve, 1906 -- when
Reginald Fessenden and Ernst
Alexanderson aided by General
Electric's Alternator,
transmitted voice on a ship off
the coast of New Jersey, or
LookRadio's 1991, WNBS Webcast in
Murray,
Kentucky.
-----The best way to check
as to who bumped off the wireless
telephone Patent, for the name
"radio" -- is to check this
Chapter's TimeLine and web
footnotes. If you guessed
President Coolidge, you were
right on the dateline of February
23, 1920, when he signed the
Dill&endash;White Radio Bill
creating the Federal Radio
Commission.
----- The law allowed
General Electric and a few others
using Tesla's 60 cycle idea, to
enter into the world of Radio
Broadcasting. GE signed on WGY in
Schenectady, New York, the
beginning of the National
Broadcasting System. The FCC at
the same time disallowed AT&T
or any other phone company in the
U.S. -- to own a wireless
telephone Radio Broadcasting
station, or even use the term
"radio".
-----This Radio Bill not
only bumped off, separated
"wireless" from "radio", but
buried the name wireless
telephone from radio
communications, until the early
1980s. Ed Thomas, head of the FCC
Office of Engineering &
Technology, said in 2003 that,
"the Federal Communications
Commission has long been the
killing field where new wireless
technologies are bumped off and
buried.
----- The original FCC was
created almost expressly for that
purpose--to prevent new wireless
signals from interfering with
existing radio broadcasters. Ever
since, incumbent broadcasters
have rabidly opposed new
untethered technologies, and FCC
regulators typically have sided
with them." *(See
Footnote.)*
-----But, no matter how
you look at it, 1920 was the year
for GE's analog sounds generated
by Ernst Alexanderson's
alternator, and the year the FCC
agreed -- that "radio" would be
better off not using the name
associated with the telephone and
telegraph broadcasting industry.
The historic ban was as puzzling
for the American consumer, as was
with the wireless telephone and
telegraphy patent holders and
their stockholders.
----- Today, the wired
telephone pole and cable TV
services still belong to the
monopoly that provides the
Internet to most homes, but the
airwaves to the "last mile" are
open to competition. Perhaps your
own wireless telephone is prying
open the biggest bottleneck in
HiTech, the "last mile" -- the
last 100 feet from your telephone
connection, to your
speed-of-light fire-wire network
and the dexterous guts of your
desk-top computer.
----- Thanks to
Vice-President Al Gore's 1997
coined phrase, "information
highway" -- and Moore's Law, your
wireless telephone has become a
low powered Wi-Fi
radio/television broadcasting
station.
----- The wireless handy,
palm, cell phone, video phone,
laptop computer, or whatever
you'd like to name the wireless
accessory, is pretty good at
connecting people on the go to
their Ebook, videos or
conversations being transmitted
from their home or office
computer while driving, flying,
or sailing on a ship. This
concept was first envisioned by
Nathan Stubblefield in his 1908
patent drawings.
///
----- Along with the
amateur dit dah radio operators
that became the unsung heroes of
the relay internet system during
the two world wars, were the
Ticker Tape and Teletype
machines. The Telex, Fax and
computer machines all are
lead-ins to the DotCom craze, the
DVD laser disc, and www streaming
video.
-----World-wide radio
voice broadcasting did not take
place, without the help of the
telephone line.
