  • Abstract
    On September 26, 2008, for the first time in its history, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU/UIT) will recognize a particular site for its invaluable contribution in the "Telecommunication Heritage." This honor will be granted to the township of Salvan, in Valais, Switzerland, where, in 1895, Guglielmo Marconli carried some of his first experiments in wireless telegraphy.
