FUTURE OF WIRELESS.
BROADCASTING SYSTEM. OFFICIALS PREDICT FAILURE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Dec. 6. About 800 permits for listening-in have been issued to amateurs of wireless, and another three or four hundred are under consideration. Some 20 licenses for sending have been issued, but regulations under the Act have not yet been gazetted. One official expressed the opinion that broadcasting would only have a very short run, as- a knowledge of the Morse system was required to pick up news, and people would soon get tired of hearing gramophone records by wireless. It may be mentioned that a* recent attempt here to give a public concert was a dismal and hopeless failure. In England they have been talking of broadcasting for many months, but, up to the latest mail advices, absolutely nothing has been done, and inquiries made of a British wireless broadcasting company recived the reply that it was impossible to say when a start would- be made.
The manager of a leading Sydney paper, who recently made extensive inquiries in England, is also of the opinion that the expected boom wil] come to nothing.
