WIRELESS FOR ALL.
THE BROADCASTING PROPOSAL. NEWS AND MUSIC AT NIGHT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Telegraph Department is considering regulations for allowing wireless broadcasting, but no scheme has been actually promulgated yet. Wireless receivers will have to be used, and already there are some 850 in the country. The idea is to divide the Dominion into a number of districts, say eight, and give a license in each to one company, or at most two, operating on alternate days to transmit matter in the shape of news, music, weather reports and so on. This will only be allowed at night from five to eleven. Officials do not .believe it will be regarded for some time as much more than a toy. They will probably stipulate that only British machines are to be employed.
