§ 111. Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Postmaster-General if he will set up a technical advisory committee to advise him on the possibilities of radio-telephony for adoption between the large centres of population within the United Kingdom as against the present extremely costly method of the co-axial cable.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonNo. The technical possibilities of radio-telephony are fully taken into account in planning the development of the trunk telephone network. Provision of circuits by co-axial cable is, in many cases, cheaper than by radio-telephony links of equivalent quality.
