This is page 2 of a Mini-Quiz to help you get astonished at the pace of telecommunications development. The question was on the previous page:
In what year did the first transatlantic TV transmission take place? Before this, the fastest way of getting moving pictures across the Big Pond was to put a roll of film (or video tape) into an airplane.
The answer is: 1962. July 11th to be precise, by the Telstar satellite. The event got quite a great deal of publicity, even a piece of pop music that made it to the top of the charts.
