From English Telegraph War to Public Ownership Debate
The piece surveys the drift toward government control of telegraphs, contrasting Britain’s pre 1870 private system with the post office run network after 1870. It argues private rates were exploitative, touts lower costs and better service under public ownership, and warns of concentrated corporate greed and political manipulation.
