Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
Tesla gained experience in telephony and electrical engineering before immigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison in New York City. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers, setting up laboratories and companies to develop a range of electrical devices. His patented AC induction motor and transformer were licensed by George Westinghouse, who also hired Tesla for a short time as a consultant. His work in the formative years of electric power development was involved in a corporate alternating current/direct current "War of Currents" as well as various patent battles.
Tesla went on to pursue his ideas of wireless lighting and electricity distribution in his high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs, and made early (1893) pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices. He tried to put these ideas to practical use in his ill-fated attempt at intercontinental wireless transmission, which was his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project. In his lab he also conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited.
Tesla was renowned for his achievements and showmanship, eventually earning him a reputation in popular culture as an archetypal "mad scientist". His patents earned him a considerable amount of money, much of which was used to finance his own projects with varying degrees of success. He lived most of his life in a series of New York hotels, through his retirement. He died on 7 January 1943. His work fell into relative obscurity after his death, but in 1960 the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. Tesla has experienced a resurgence in interest in popular culture since the 1990s. [Source: Wikipedia]
That the real innovation in mobile telephony lies not in the eagerly anticipated latest iPhone models but rather in mini-factories in the Chinese hi-tech hub, Shenzhen (where iPhones too are produced), is amply demonstrated by the group DISNOVATION.ORG.
In collaboration with researcher Clément Renaud and Hongyuan Qu, the artists Nicolas Maigret and Maria Roszkowska collected strikingly designed mobile phones in Shenzhen, which took such fantastic forms as strawberries or cars, or had impressive technological features. The Powerbank phone, for instance, runs up to three SIM cards in parallel and has an integrated battery that can charge other devices. Others have an in-built lighter or electric razor. This market is geared not so much to the Western middle-classes as to the rural populations of Africa or inland China. Set up as a typical sales stand, 'Shanzhai Archeology' presents the product range of these mini-companies, which fuse creativity, copy/piracy/remix-ventures and self-taught skills to develop new products in a matter of weeks. However, Shanzhai (Chinese: pirate) culture is under threat - not so much from miserable working conditions as from the Chinese government's endeavours to clean up the country's counterfeiter reputation. Yet, although often dissed for poor quality, the devices on show here, given their extraordinary qualities and style, pose a serious challenge to the West's hyper-standardised approach to technology and to the built-in obsolescence paraded under the guise of innovation.

Communication breakdown
Line went dead a couple of days ago. What caused it? Is it the switch? the router? the cat5 cable? the modem? the line filter? phone connection switches? the line connecting to the telephone line?
So the phone company, a fault logged and the line technician comes. Firstly the problem is checked at the exchange.

No 4 Meenglass with '11' on is seen on 3rd August 1959 storming up the Barnesmore Gap with her return excursion. The remoteness here is well illustrated, with the train clinging to the side of the Blue Stack Mountains.
Note also the telegraph poles, vital in transporting all the tele-communications services that the railway required to keep it running. This would not only allow voice telephony between stations and signal cabins, but also operated the various block sections.

As we've seen, New York's emergency call boxes come in many different forms. This is the shell of an old Gamewell (check out the awesome logo) telegraphic fire alarm box with a modern telephonic fire/police button unit installed inside it. Gamewell was the dominant manufacturer of fire call boxes in the US, but this is the first Gamewell box I've noticed in NYC — within the city, they're apparently only found in a few neighborhoods in Queens.
The cylindrical thing mounted on top of the box is a mechanical Arrestolarm, which would have blasted a "loud and distinctive warning shriek" whenever the box was triggered. This was intended to discourage pranksters from setting off false alarms by drawing immediate attention to anyone reporting a fire.
After decades of growth landline revenues continue to fall and some are ready to pronounce the telecoms as a “boring utility”, if not scribe the industry’s tombstone. But innovations in mobile telephony, the advent of cloud computing, media convergence, as well as emerging market growth hold promise for some.
1) How are telecom companies adjusting their strategies to meet new areas of demand? Is there enough new growth in mobile and other areas to make up for shortfalls in landline usage?
2) Who are best positioned to capitalize from new growth strategies? How will cloud computing and other innovations impact the industry?
3) How are non-telecom businesses able to capitalize on the changes in the telephony environment?

Building Radio Kootwijk, Veluwe NL - 1922 - architect Julius Maria Luthmann.
The housing accommodations of Radio Kootwijk arose as a result of the building of a shortwave transmitter site with the same name, starting in 1918. The transmitters played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and its colony of Dutch East Indies. In 1923 Dutch PTT (Post, Telegraph and Telephone Company) started trans-oceanic telegraphy using a longwave transmitter, a 400 KW high frequency alternator, from the German Telefunken company under the call sign PCG, in the 24 kHz and 48 kHz. By 1925 the longwave transmitter was changed by a shortwave tube based, electronic transmitter which had a much better performance due to the better propagation of short waves. With this new technology, in 1928 a radio-telephonic connection was established. At the end of World War II, the German occupying forces blew up the transmitter. Afterward some of the radio towers were rebuilt. Due to the development of new technologies like satellite communication, Radio Kootwijk lost its position as main overseas wireless connection point of the Netherlands. In 1980, the last transmission mast was blown up. In 2004 the park lost its last transmitter functions, and was transferred from the telephone company to the State Forestry Commission, which started attracting new buyers. The main building of the former transmitter park and named 'Building A', 'The Cathedral' or sometimes 'The Sphinx', was officially appointed as a monument. It is used as venue and scenery for several cultural events and productions, including the American film Mind Hunters in 2004.

The Blue Post in the city of Chur is something of a landmark. Completed in 1983 as a telecommunications center for telephony, broadcasting and television. By architect Richard Brosi. As a symbol of the dawn of a new era of communication that began with the introduction of the automobile telephone network B in the same year. Now, for the second time, a planning application for a conversion has been submitted. The first was withdrawn after loud criticism. Because the architectural style would be destroyed, there is resistance again. The Blue Post is described as an architectural jewel and is to be placed under protection.

The border at Monte Aymond in southern Chile.
Monte Aymond is a village located in the Güer Aike Department of Santa Cruz Province of Argentina. It is located on National Route 3 about 67 km (42 miles) from Río Gallegos and 8 km (5 miles) from the border crossing with Chile, dubbed Paso Integración Austral.
The area has services such as telephony and shops, in addition to police assistance (Argentine National Gendarmerie and Carabineros de Chile) on both sides of the border.
Products of animal or vegetable origin were not permitted to be carried across the border, for protection of crops and animals on the other side. That included pets.
