__Communication in the U.S.__

 The first telegraph was created by Samuel Morse, in 1809.  Samuel was trying to create a hearing aid for death people then he accidently created a telegraph. It effected the society because they were able to communicate and get messages over seas or even cross country without it taking as long as months or days now it takes at least 2 3 or 4 days to send a message with the telegraph.

Replacement of transoceanic coaxial cables by fibre-optic cables has continued through the 1990s. Advances in integrated-circuit technology and semiconductors have made it possible to design and market telephones that not only produce high-fidelity speech quality, but also offer a host of features such as pre-stored numbers, call forwarding, call waiting, and caller identification.
 * Future**

Cellular telephony has grown dramatically, and cellular phones are now offered as standard equipment in many cars. However, the technological advancement of the telephone will not stop here, future innovation will bring this magnificant invention to greater heights, offering more functionality than ever. The recent implementation of 3G is a good example. It allows people to watch live video feeds from their mobile phones. ||^  || The Department of Justice has finally admitted it in court papers: The nation’s telecom companies are an arm of the government — at least when it comes to secret spying.

This paper studies the effects of government regulation of local telephone services in the United States on the introduction of new telecommunication technologies and services. The traditional regulatory philosophy emphasizes the sensitivity of costs to distance because of the necessity for physical wire paths between communicating parties, and also uses the natural monopoly argument as a reason to deny entrance to competitors. Emerging telecommunication technologies involve costs that are time sensitive rather than distance sensitive, and economies of scale are no longer a determining factor in industry structure. A model contrasting the effects of optimal //versus// current regulatory policy on innovation in local telecommunications is presented. A forward-looking regulatory philosophy encouraging investments in innovative activities is preferable to a philosophy which emphasizes the treatment of past investments.
