Today’s International Phone
Service Is Far Better, Cheaper
A half century of trans
atlantic telephone service
was commemorated in Jan
uary with a call between two
retired overseas operators in
the U.S. and England,
according to Southern Bell
District Manager, Barry
Mansell.
The call, placed from New
York to London exactly 50
years after the first call on
January 7,1927, also involved
representatives of the Ameri
can Telephone, and Tele
graph Company and the
British Post Office, the
telephone entity in England.
Richard B. Nichols, Vice
President in charge of
overseas operations for Long
Lines said the first 50 years
of international calling have
been marked by “technolog
ical achievements and a
cooperative effort through
out the worldwide telecom
munications community.”
Speaking on January 7 to
Sir Edward Fennessy, De
puty Chairman of the British
Post Office and Managing
Director of Telecommunica
tions, Nichols said, “The
United States and the United
Kingdom have been leaders
in this international telecom
munications community. In
addition to being the first to
begin transatlantic telephone
service, our two nations were
the first to be linked by
transatlantic telephone cable
more than 20 years ago.”
“This year’s call, in
contrast to 50 years ago when
all overseas calls required an
operator, was dialed direct
by International Direct Dis
tance Dialing. The service,
introduced in New York City
in 1970, allows one out of
every four Bell System
telephone subscribers to dial
direct to as many as 36
foreign countries,” said
Mansell.
“And the cost of a call
today is far cheaper than it
was in 1927 when a
three-minute call from New
York to London was $75, or
about $250 in 1977 dollars.
The same three-minute call
can be placed now for as little
as $4.05 for an operator
assisted connection,” he
added.
On the first day of service,
31 calls were completed.
Today, thousands of overseas
calls are completed every
day, making international
calling one of the fastest
growing services in the Bell
system.
One of the major events
that led to the opening of
transatlantic telephone ser
vice was the successful
experiment with one-way
voice communication across
the Atlantic in 1915. H. R.
Shreeve, a Bell system
engineer at the Eiffel Tower
in Paris, heard the words,
“and now, Shreeve, good
night" beamed to him from a
transmission station in Ar
lington, Va.
Also, long before New
Yorkers could call London,
scientists and engineers from
Bell Telephone Laboratories
and Western Electric Com
pany, AT&T manufacturing
and supply unit, began work
on the problems of spanning
the Atlantic with an undersea
cable system.
Those efforts led to the
installation of the first such
cable system-TAT-1 with 36
circuits-in 1956. Today more
than 54,000 nautical miles of
Bell System-designed under
sea cable systems-including
six transatlantic facilities—
are in use, helping to link U.
S. customers to 99 per cent of
the world’s 358 million
telephones. The latest sys
tem. TAT-6, which can
handle 4,000 simultaneous
telephone conversations,
went into service last year.
And, in its relatively brief
history, telephone ocean
cable technology has reduced
the cost per circuit mile on
transatlantic systems from
S3OO to sl3, thereby helping to
