Along our discussions about early data communications history, I found a New York Times article describing how IBM sought FCC to build and operate microwave transmission systems for data communications. The IBM proposal, in conjunction with General Electric, covered a "three channel terminal at Washington and a six channel station in NYC to serve Washington and Schenectady". Such a system will provide a new business-machine service to industry as well as extensive television capacity. New York Times, 8/13/44. [public replies, please]
