The document discusses Marconi's invention of wireless telegraphy and Arthur Clarke's suggestion to solve the problem of transmitting signals over long distances using satellites. It notes that while Marconi's invention solved the problem of relying on undersea cables for communication, transmitting signals over seas remained impractical. Clarke's idea could address this, but difficulties in launching satellites into orbit presented problems.
