But of all the stations on the air in the early 1920s, the one to stir the attention of the public and the industry alike was AT&T's WEAF in New York. Westinghouse owned station KDKA in Pittsburgh. 1922 - AT&T - Interconnection of Stations - The first use of wire telephone lines in 1922 for interconnecting a station in New York city and a station in Chicago, Illinois, to broadcast simultaneously a description of a football game introduced a new idea into radio broadcasting. 1922 - GOVERNMENT REGULATION - The administration of the broadcasting industry regulations was entrusted to the U.S. department of commerce. Under the 1912 irrelevant set of laws, a rapidly increasing number of broadcasting stations (from about 50 in 1922 to more than 500 in 1923) were crowded into narrow wave bands, and interference from overlapping stations became intolerable. 1925 to 1934 1925: AT&T establishes Bell Telephone Laboratories Inc. as its research and development subsidiary. 1925 - DeForest's 1908 Audion Patent Number Three, #879, 532 Covering The Device As A Detector, Expires. 1925 0512 - Patent Expires: Stubblefield's 1908 Radio Patent Expires, May 12, 1925. 1926 - NBC - Organized By The General Electric Company, The Westinghouse Electric And Manufacturing Company And The Radio Corporation Of America, By Purchasing WEAF in 1926, undertook the management of WJZ and WRC both of which were owned by the Radio Corporation of America. 1926 - Radio Bill - On February 23, President Coolidge signs the Dill&endash;White Radio Bill creating the Federal Radio Commission and ending chaos caused by wild growth of broadcasting. 1926 1020 - Patent Expires: Stubblefield's Canadian 1908 Patent #114,737 - Expires October 20, 1926 - Same as Stubblefield's patent for the Wireless Telephone in the U.S.A. 1927 - BBC - The British Broadcasting corporation, (BBC) a publicly financed corporation ultimately responsible to parliament but in practice enjoying a considerable degree of independence, was given, by its original charter in 1927, a monopoly covering all phases of broadcasting in Britain. 1927 - Philo Farnsworth TV Camera in 1929 - The picture was neon pink and the horizontal lines making up the image on the screen were almost a quarter-inch wide.

The Columbia Broadcasting system originated in 1927 as an outgrowth of the United Independent Broadcasters and the Columbia Phonograph Broadcasting system. 1927 - New York and London - linked by radiotelephone. In 1927 New York and London were linked by radiotelephone. Three decades later, more than 120 countries and territories could be reached from the United States by radio and underocean telephone cable. 1927 [0527]- WIRELESS TELEPHONE COMPANY OF AMERICA - Dissolves - the Arizona Corporation, died a quiet death on May 22, 1927, the twenty-five year statute of limitations having come into effect. 1928 - FIRST AUTOMOBILE RADIO - Radios were installed in automobiles for the first time in 1928, three years after Stubblefield's 1908, radio patent expired, and the same year of Stubblefield's death. But this unfortunate genius clearly anticipated such a modern luxury as early as 1908. In the original Canadian patent is a drawing made by Stubblefield of a "horseless carriage" with a broadcasting set, which he later called "raidio."[sic[COLLINS] - The same idea was to be used in trains and steam ships, the patent declares. TWO-WAY MOBILE RADIO - The Detroit Michigan police department, became the first to despatch police squad cars, by radio. These two-way radios operated in the 30 to 40 mc brands. Over 400 cities followed the trends by the year 1935. 1928 - GEORGE O. SQUIER, PATENTS - (Patent Expire 1928) - All of his discoveries and inventions -- some shared with Stubblefield, worth millions -- were patented in the name of the people of the Untied States on January 1, 1911. 1928 0328 - DEATH OF NATHAN B. STUBBLEFIELD, and the end of his dream, the National Broadcasting System, "The Inventor Of Radio" (Wireless Telephony) died in Murray, Kentucky on March 28, 1928. He is buried in the Bowman family cemetery, located in back of the Walston property, known as, 1619 N. 4th Street, Murray, KY. 1929 - FM broadcast transmission path - 1929 - Armstrong, was granted a FM broadcast transmission path. 1930 - Collins Radio, Cedar Rapids - Single Sideband - Even back in the 1930s, Collins engineers recognized three requirements necessary to make single sideband practical for general communications use: (1) better frequency stability, (2) smaller and lower cost single sideband filters, and (3) better linear amplifiers. 1930 0826 - FARNSWORTH TELEVISION PATENT issued August 26, 1930. (Patent Expires August 26, 1947) - Farnsworth received his patent in 1930, when he was twenty-four years old. 1931 - The Famed Aviation COLLINS RADIO was formed - M. H. Collins, the brother of A. F. Collins, sold his Cedar Rapids, Collins Farms Company to an east coast insurance company -- using the money to invest in his 23-year old sons wireless transmission business. Arthur Collins, picked up where his his uncle A. Frederick left off in his business dealings with N.B. Stubblefield. The new Collins Family Group, set up a shop at 1620 6th Avenue S.E., the family home of the Collins; and they all began producing transmitters and reciever kits to order -- for the home consumer and aviation entrepreneurs. They later sold out COLLINS RADIO and their sideband business -- to a never disclosed War Department party during world war II, the predecessor of (Rockwell) in California. MAXWELL'S ETHER THEORY DIES - November, 13, 1931. The one-hundredth anniversary of Clerk Maxwell's birth was marked by the scientific world "digging a grave for the theory of a luminiferous ether," but at the same time honoring Maxwell's mathematical genius. 1934 to 1964 / 1934 - Congress created the Federal Communications Commission in 1934. 1934: AT&T inaugurates transpacific telephone service, initially between the US and Japan. Calls travel across the Pacific via radio. The initial capacity is one call at a time at a cost of $39 for the first three minutes. 1937: Clinton Davisson of Bell Telephone Laboratories wins the Nobel Prize in Physics for experimental confirmation of the wave nature of the electron. He becomes the first of seven Nobel Prize winners produced by AT&T. 1941: The first non-experimental installation of coaxial cable in the network is placed in service between Minneapolis, Minn., and Stevens Point, Wis. The type of coaxial cable installed was invented at AT&T in 1929 and is the first broadband transmission medium. 1946: AT&T begins offering mobile telephone service. With a single antenna serving a region, no more than 12 to 20 simultaneous calls could be made in an entire metropolitan area. 1947: AT&T Bell Telephone Laboratories scientists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, andWilliam Shockley invent the transistor, the first solid state amplifier or switch, and lay the foundation for modern electronics. The three shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 for the achievement. 1947: AT&T develops the concept of cellular telephony. The technology to realize the concept did not yet exist. 1948: AT&T begins offering networking services for television on facilities connecting major cities in the northeast and midwest. The service reaches the west coast in 1951. Television networks use this service to transmit programming to their affiliated stations around the country. 1951: AT&T introduces customer-dialing of long distance calls, initially in Englewood, NJ. The national rollout takes place over the second half of the 1950s. Until this innovation, all long distance calls required operator assistance. 1956: AT&T and the US Justice department agree on a consent decree to end an antitrust suit brought against AT&T in 1949. AT&T restricts its activities to those related to running the national telephone system, and special projects for the federal government. 1956: AT&T opens for service TAT-1, the first trans-Atlantic telephone cable. The initial capacity is 36 calls at a time at a price per call of $12 for the first three minutes. Since trans-Atlantic service opened in 1927, calls had traveled across the ocean via radio waves. But cables provide much higher signal quality, avoid atmospheric interference and offer greater capacity and security. 1958: AT&T introduces the first commercial modem. 1962: AT&T launches Telstar I, the first active communications satellite. Telstar transmits the first live television across the Atlantic. 1963: AT&T introduces touchtone service , with a keypad replacing the familiar telephone dial, initially in Greensburg and Carnegie, Pennsylvania. 1964: AT&T opens TPC-1, the first submarine telephone cable across the Pacific. It went from Japan to Hawaii, where it connected to two cables linking Hawaii with the mainland. This brought the same improvements to trans-Pacific service that TAT-1 had brought to trans-Atlantic service in 1956. 1965 to 1989 / 1965: AT&T installs the world's first electronic telephone switch (special purpose computer) in a local telephone exchange, Succasunna, NJ. 1968: AT&T introduces 911 as a nationwide emergency number. 1970: AT&T introduces customer dialing of international long distance calls, initially between Manhattan and London. 1971: Researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories create the Unix computer operating system, which is designed to be hardware independent. It eventually becomes the underlying language of the Internet. 1975-1976: Computerization of the network begins as AT&T installs the world's first digital electronic toll switch, the 4ESS®, in Chicago. This switch could handle a much higher volume of calls (initially 350,000 per hour) with greater flexibility and speed than the electromechanical switch it replaced. 1977: AT&T opens its first Network Operations Center in Bedminster, New Jersey. With this center AT&T achieves real-time active management of its entire long distance network from a single location. 1977: In Chicago, AT&T installs the first fiber optic cable in a commercial communications system. 1982: AT&T and the Justice Department agree on tentative terms for settlement of anti-trust suit filed against AT&T in 1974. AT&T agrees to divest itself of its local telephone operations. In return, the Justice department agrees to lift the restrictions on AT&T activities contained in the 1956 Consent Decree. The agreement, once accepted by the court, becomes known as the Modification of Final Judgement or MFJ. 1983: In conjunction with the soon-to-be-divested Ameritech, AT&T opens the first commercial cellular telephone system in the United States in Chicago. The cellular franchises pass to the divested local companies in January. 1984: AT&T reduces long distance rates by 6.4 percent, as non-traffic sensitive costs begin moving from rates to local-company administered access charges. This was the first in a series of rate reductions over the next six years that totaled approximately forty percent. 1984: Equal Access carrier selection begins, first in Charleston WV. The Federal Communications Commission had mandated that all telephone subscribers choose which long distance company they would reach on dialing 1+ the number. This would level the playing field and bring full competition to the long distance telephone market. 1984: On January 1 the Bell System ceases to exist. In its place are seven Regional Bell Operating Companies and a new AT&T that retains its long distance telephone, manufacturing, and research and development operations. 1988: AT&T lays and opens TAT-8, the first fiber optic submarine telephone cable across the Atlantic. It has a capacity equivalent to 40,000 calls, ten times that of the last copper cable. (Today's cables have capacities equivalent to over 1,000,000 calls). 1990 to 1999 / 1991: AT&T acquires computer maker NCR Corporation in an attempt to realize the synergies it believed inherent in the coming integration of computing and communications. 1993: AT&T announces a definitive merger agreement with McCaw Cellular Communications Inc, the largest provider of cellular service in the United States. The acquisition is later renamed AT&T Wireless. AT&T completes the transaction in 1994. 1995: On September 20, AT&T announces that it is restructuring into three separate companies: a services company, retaining the AT&T name; a products and systems company (later named Lucent Technologies) and a computer company (which reassumed the NCR name). Lucent is spun off in October 1996, and NCR in December, 1996. 1999: AT&T acquires TCI, the second largest cable company in the United States. TCI becomes AT&T Broadband. The following year, AT&T Broadband acquires cable company MediaOne, and becomes the largest cable company in the United States. 1999: AT&T announces general availability of its local residential telephone service in New York with a bundled plan called "AT&T Local One Rate New York." This is AT&T's first general reentry into the consumer local telephone business since the break up of the Bell System. It occurs under the provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. 2000 to 2005 / CLICK FOR MORE TIMELINE - 2000: AT&T announces that it will reorganize into a family of companies &endash; AT&T (including AT&T Business and AT&T Consumer), AT&T Wireless and AT&T Broadband. AT&T Wireless is spun off in July 2001, and AT&T Broadband completes a merger with the Comcast Corporation in November 2002. 2000: For the first time, the volume of data traffic on the AT&T network exceeds the volume of voice traffic. 2002: AT&T deploys a new nationwide intelligent optical network which restores service faster in the event of a failure or disaster. This new network also provides the capability to dramatically shorten provisioning time for new high-speed circuits for business customers who have direct access to the network. 2003: AT&T introduces AT&T VoiceTone®, the first end-to-end automation solution that integrates conversational speech technology with a full suite of contact center networking services. The service makes it possible for customers to hold natural conversations with computer-based systems that understand what they say and mean, and that respond to them to fulfill their request. 2004: AT&T introduces AT&T Internet ProtectSM, a revolutionary service that can detect and help stop network-based worms and viruses before they infect and wreak havoc on corporate and government networks. Thanks to AT&T's groundbreaking technology, businesses can protect themselves from network-based worms and viruses without having to deploy firewalls at each location, 2004: AT&T introduces Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services for consumers, a breakthrough alternative to traditional voice services.
