Imperial Cable Rates Cut Under 1928 Agreement
The 1928 Imperial communications scheme imposes substantial cable rate reductions effective April 25. Australia and Empire countries will adopt a 1 penny 9 farthings per word rate for Em messages, with proportional cuts for other classifications. Australian currency applies to outgoing Australian rates, with the Commonwealth Government paying £19,000 annually for five years to the operator to offset exchange taxes. The plan aims to unify cable and wireless channels, facilitate rapid imperial communications, and prevent any country from being disadvantaged by facility or resource gaps. An Imperial Communications Advisory Committee helped draft the scheme, which integrates cable and wireless services to strengthen coordinated imperial communications.
