Wireless Telephone Demonstration 1902.

Although the Bell System is the most well-known of US telephone companies, our industry began with hundreds of local companies all trying to deliver telephone services to their subscribers. In 2005, there are again hundreds of companies competing for our telecommunications business.

This area of the museum highlights the histories of those companies, large and small, historic and contemporary.
