Abstract
The development of the 150-year-old facsimile concept is recounted. The factors that have made it such a popular technology are examined. Its evolution from use in niche markets only to broader use, and the shift of initiative in developing the technology to Japan in the 1980s, are discussed. Standards setting, advantages of facsimile, and legal issues are addressed.<>
