Abstract :
Welcome to today’s Seminar where we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of first cable across the Atlantic Ocean which provided in August 1858, for the first time, telegraphic communications between North America and the UK. As well as hearing about this major event we will review the subsequent evolution of telecommunications between these countries.
