Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores a proposal made early in the 20th century to lay a Pacific cable between the United States and the Philippines, and the resulting debate over whether the cable should be laid by private or governmental interests. The book provides an in-depth look at the arguments for and against each option, and examines the historical context of the debate, including the acquisition of the Philippines by the United States and the rapidly changing landscape of international communication at the turn of the century. Ultimately, the book argues that the decision to allow a private company to lay the cable was a wise one, leading to significant advances in communication and a reduction in the cost of sending messages across the Pacific.
