Thanks for posting this, and for other historic links people have
posted. I have a wiki devoted to Broadcast History, but it also
include a section of links on telecom history. I add stuff as I
discover it (often from this newsgroup).

Thanks!

That is a very interesting site. I was quite a student of televison
at age 15 when the first transcontinential bi-directional live
broadcast was a CBS "See It Now" in mid-November, 1951, some two
months after the first one-direction broadcast two months before.
From Wikipedia:
"The show was an adaptation of radio's Hear It Now, also produced by
Murrow and Friendly. Its first episode, on November 18, 1951, opened
with the first live simultaneous coast-to-coast TV transmission from
both the East Coast (the Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbor) and the
West Coast (the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay), as
reporters on both sides of the North American continent gave live
reports to Murrow, who was sitting in the control room on CBS' Studio
41 with director Don Hewitt."
I remember it well. I knew it was going to happen and really wanted
to see it. But, my mother insisted we go to her brother's home for
Sunday dinner. He didn't have a television set.
I whinned enough about it that he took me across the street to a
neighbor's house who had a television set. The three of us watched
the program and were enthralled. Ed Murrow kept making a big deal
about the live, two-way hook up, as he well should have.
