150 YEARS AGO TODAY, SOMEONE MADE A PHONE CALL…
“It lasted seconds. It changed everything.
On this day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell spoke into a device in a Boston laboratory and said the seven words that launched the modern world: "Mr. Watson, come here - I want to see you."
Western Union, offered the patent for $100,000, famously declines. The telephone has no commercial future, they said.
Today - A single SIM can carry telemetry from a wind turbine in a Scottish field, stream CCTV from a building site, or hold a remote cabinet online when the fixed line fails. 5G RedCap is making cellular viable for a billion new connected devices. The network never sleeps.”
