Satellites Seen Transforming Western Union Role in Communications
Russell W. McFall of Western Union predicts satellites will deliver many new home services within two decades. Westar I and II, launched in 1974, already serve all 50 states and Puerto Rico with voice data and graphics. Mailgram, run with USPS, is the fastest growing service, approaching telegram volumes but at lower cost.
