TRANSATLANTIC COMMUNICATIONS 5 



Cable transmission will be free of all such quality and continuity limita- 

 tions. In fact, service of the quality and reliability of the long distance 

 service in America and Western Europe is possible. This quality and 

 continuity improvement may well accelerate the growth in transatlan- 

 tic traffic. 



The British Post Office and Bell Telephone Laboratories are contin- 

 uing vigorous programs of research and development on submarine 

 cable systems. Continuing technical advance can be anticipated. Broader 

 transmission bands, lower cost systems and greater insurance of con- 

 tinuous, reliable and high quality services surely follow.
