"Did you know there was once a service to get front page news on facsimile?"

I vaguely remember reading something about that.

"Jenkins could be considered the 'father of subscription TV' as you had to buy one of his mechanical contraption radio/TVs to receive broadcasts from Secaucus. Bairde ran the British show till the late 1930s when BBC sucked into raster scannning. AT&T once had a website
with tekky history stuff which showed the cable (not RF) connection with President Wilson (?) in 1926"

So you're saying thee broadcasts were actually via cable link, not over-the-air?
