Parliamentary Motion - 50th Anniversary of First North Atlantic Telephone Cable

*S2M-4851 Stewart Stevenson: 50th Anniversary of First North Atlantic Telephone Cable—That the Parliament celebrates the half-century since the first North Atlantic telephone cable between Oban and Canada went live on 25 September 1956, creating a permanent link between Scotland and North America which built on the work of the Scot, Alexander Graham Bell, who first demonstrated the telephone in 1876, and welcomes the significant role that modern telecommunications plays in bringing together Scots around the world regardless of the country in which they live.
