	Transatlantic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transatlantic radio communication was first accomplished on December 12, 1901 by Guglielmo Marconi who, using a temporary receiving station at Signal Hill, Newfoundland, received a Morse code signal representing the letter "S" sent from Poldhu, in Cornwall, England.
		Transatlantic radio-based communication replaced the transatlantic telegraph in 1927 and the first transatlantic telephone cable was installed in 1955.
		Satellite technology vastly increased the speed and quality of transatlantic communication, but transatlantic cables are still in use today, with the more recent being fiber optic cables.

	Transatlantic telephone cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transatlantic telephone cable is a submarine communications cable that carries telephone traffic under the Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe.
		While the first transatlantic telegraph cable had been laid in 1858, by business man Cyrus Field, it had only operated for a month.
		The first direct transatlantic telegraph cable was built up by Werner von Siemens in 1875.

		It was not initially granted a role in the war in Afghanistan, despite the immediate, and historic, NATO decision to invoke the guarantee of mutual defense in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
		In what was probably one of the most negative results of 2003 in terms of the transatlantic relationship, mistrust of European intentions and of the EU as such has become rampant in Washington.
		In this context the failure of the EU to ratify its draft constitution in 2003 has tended to reinforce the impression in Washington that the EU is weak, inefficient, and stuck with its cumbersome decision-making process--that it is a political actor that does not need to be taken seriously.

	Radio's First Message -- Fessenden and Marconi
		His transatlantic experiments in 1906 were conducted using such a transmitter and 420-foot umbrella top loaded antennas at Brant Rock, MA and Machrihanish, Scotland, tuned to a frequency of about 80 kHz.
		It was also found that variations of absorption on transatlantic signals appeared to have a quite definite relation with variations of the geomagnetic field, i.e., the greater the absorption the greater the magnetic variation [Fessenden, 1908].
		The first East-West transatlantic radio transmission was made during October 1902 from Poldhu, Cornwall to the Italian cruiser Carlos Alberto anchored in the harbour of Sydney, NS with Marconi aboard.

	Between cooperation and competition: the transatlantic defence market
		In the same way, while transatlantic armaments cooperation may well bring benefits for Euro-American political relations as a whole, it is obvious that its true merit lies elsewhere: in the commercial advantages that could result from it for all the companies concerned.
		The growth of a transatlantic industry should be welcome for the efficiencies it could bring to defence procurement, increased competition for acquisition programmes, and the opportunity to fully exploit critical emerging technologies.
		Although the Cox Commission issue was not focused on transatlantic activities or on the defence industry, it did have a substantial chilling effect on broader efforts to bring more flexibility to the transatlantic relationship.

	The New Transatlantic Project by Ronald D. Asmus and Kenneth M. Pollack - Policy Review, No. 115 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The tone of recent transatlantic discourse suggests that the answer may be no. Although September 11 initially produced a tremendous outpouring of solidarity across the Atlantic, the mood has since soured into one of the ugliest U.S.-European spats in recent memory.
		The central question in the transatlantic relationship today is whether the U.S. and Europe can still harmonize these differences and coalesce around a new strategic purpose and paradigm to guide future cooperation across the Atlantic.
		The fundamental problem bedeviling the transatlantic relationship today is the lack of a common strategic purpose and a shared commitment on both sides of the Atlantic that would generate the will to harmonize divergent views and create a joint strategy.

	'Transatlantic Slavery, Against Human Dignity'
		An extract from the introduction to the catalogue of the Merseyside Maritime Museum exhibition Transatlantic Slavery, by Anthony Tibbles.
		In the period between about 1500 and about 1870, millions of Africans were enslaved and transported across the Atlantic by Europeans, who needed a labour force to develop and work in their American colonies.
		It is my hope that they will cause people to think about transatlantic slavery, to understand the context and to recognise that it has relevance for all of us today.

		No one ever said it was going to be easy to patch up transatlantic relations after months of bitter differences over Iraq.
		And it quickly became clear that Nato - the institutional embodiment of transatlantic ties - was as deeply divided about the post-war situation as it had been before the invasion.
		Transatlantic disagreement over Iraq, of course, is accompanied by continuing EU-US splits over the Middle East, where Mr Bush is now seen to be acquiescing to the ruling Likud party's hardline approach to Israeli settlements, as well as the wider question of tackling the root causes of terrorism.

	THE FIRST TRANSATLANTIC TELEPHONE CABLE ( (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Where the first transatlantic telephone cable was inaugurated on 25 September 1956 it was hailed as a major breakthrough in telecommunications.
		In 1943 the first submerged repeaters (suitable for depths of 200 fathoms) was laid in the Irish Sea between Anglesey and the Isle of Man, and this was followed by considerable development in submarine coaxial cables and submerged repeaters linking UK with Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
		In 1956 the first transatlantic telephone cable was regarded as a major technological achievement, not least as a base for future research and improvements, developments which have led to the sophisticated transatlantic projects of TAT8 and TAT9 involving the use of optical fibre cables and digital technology.

		The focus of the Transatlantic Intelligencer is European politics and the, increasingly "conflicted", relationship of Europe - or, more precisely, the leading continental European powers, France and Germany - with the United States.
		August is as a rule a "slow news" month and it is especially so in continental Europe, where those long summer vacations mean that there is less opportunity for EU bureaucrats, French civil servants, German "political foundations" and the like to be creating momentous events.
		Underscoring why this approach to current transatlantic disputes might be of particular interest, he writes: “it is ultimately the Constitution that makes the United States a nation”.
