  • Abstract
    The extent of transatlantic telephone service and its growth since its inception in 1927 are outlined in this paper. It is pointed out that at the present time 85 per cent of the world´s telephones are included in the area served and about 50 calls are made per business day. Analysis is given of the calls with respect to distribution by countries, by time of day, and by kind of message. The volume of calls, the rates, and a general indication of the quality of transmission are given. Plans for future extensions of the service are outlined.
