Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My uncle criticized my judgment for leaving the Bell System and taking a job in the stogy old dying railroad industry. It proved to be an exciting time to make the move with the introduction of new technologies into railroading. When railroads introduced computers into their business, information gathering and transfer was met by the communications department through rapid expansion of the means to transmit this data for analysis of the railroad business to meet competition from other entities. Airlines and highway eliminated the early monopoly the railroads enjoyed in commerce moving people and goods. This book was written to document much of this change and the leadership in the Union Pacific Communications Department which set in motion the implementation of new technologies. Two way radios on locomotives for communications to dispatchers and between train crews, improved efficiency in operations. Microwave systems expanded the capacity for telephone and data service. Mobile telephone radios released desk bound division engineers and trainmasters to the field, to observe and direct operations. SCADA systems eliminated traditional pole lines, and fiber optic cables increased capacity of communications. The book also documents the departments interface with government agencies and support of Union Pacific subsidiaries.

This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the history of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), from its origins in the mid-19th century to nowadays. ITU was the first international organization ever and still plays a crucial role in managing global telecommunications today. Putting together some of the most relevant scholars in the field of transnational communications, the book covers the history of ITU from 1865 to digital times in a truly global perspective, taking into account several technologies like the telegraph, the telephone, cables, wireless, radio, television, satellites, mobile phone, the internet and others. The main goal is to identify the long-term strategies of regulation and the techno-diplomatic manoeuvres taken inside ITU, from convincing the majority of the nations to establish the official seat of the Telegraph Union bureau in Switzerland in the 1860s, to contrasting the multi-stakeholder model of Internet governance (supported by US and ICANN). History of the International Telecommunication Union is a trans-disciplinary text and can be interesting for scholars and students in the fields of telecommunications, media, international organizations, transnational communication, diplomacy, political economy of communication, STS, and others. It has the ambition to become a reference point in the history of ITU and, at the same time, just the fi rst comprehensive step towards a longer, inter-technological, political and cultural history of transnational communications to be written in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Union Pacific Railway, Vol. 2 The first railway to the Pacific claimed the attention of the country on two distinct bases - as an element in our political history, and as a commercial enterprise. In the early sixties the leading argument in favor of building it was the necessity of strengthening in their allegiance to the Union the states on the Pacific coast. Since the completion of the road in 1869 the commercial importance has been the obvious one. It was, moreover, the commercial features of the scheme, and only in a minor way the political ones, that inspired the early agitation for a road. In this agitation, which stretches far back of the Civil War, it is interesting to trace the evolution of the plan for connecting the two oceans by rail, and to see how the road was considered at first desirable, then important, and at last necessary. The spirit of unrest which led to the discovery of new lands and new routes to old ones during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was slow to die out. The commercial spirit of Europe which inspired the quest for a new sea route to India did not subside with the finding of an intervening continent and the subsequent failure to find a Northwest Passage. If there was no waterway, a land route was demanded. Explorers had not been slow to trace the great natural waterway leading into the heart of the continent furnished by the Great Lakes, but advances west of Lake Superior were inconsiderable. Thus far the French had led; here they stopped. The completion of the task was reserved for Anglo-Saxon genius.
