From the inventions of the telephone and radio, through the development of television and of digital means of transmission of information – all these subjects need historical coverage and merit professional discussions. · The discussion among countries, regarding “The father of Radio” will be a challenging subject both for the Panel members who will represent different views, and for the audience participating in the discussion. · The IEEE Communications Society has recently established a “Communications History” standing committee and this session is the launching event of the activities of the Committee.
