Pascal GRISET, The development of intercontinental telecommunications in the twentieth century. The development of international communications, which gained momentum from the mid-1800s, constituted major strategic stakes, much coveted by the large powers. Based exclusively on underwater cables until the beginning of the 20th century, intercontinental telecommunications thereafter developed, utilizing a doubletechnical system which consisted of both cables and radio. In place of the technical strategy which had oriented the activities of the telecommunications companies, came to be substituted a more commercial strategy which upset their very identity. After a period of rather heavy competition, the market nonetheless reorganized itself at the end of the 20s. Under the leadership of AT & T, this type of regulation was reinforced during the 60s and 70s, whereas the development of telecommunication satellites should have brought about changes in the distribution of market forces. Recent institutional developments would seem to be challenging this international order, opening a new era of competition. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
