WHAT OF RADIO IN THE FUTURE?

What of the future? This brief review of the past, and the gleams it gives of the rapid progress of recent months, cannot but inspire hope and confidence. Jn a year the number of license-holders has risen from 14,541 to a figure only very slightly under 40,000 This growth has not been built on promises; it has been built on performance. The quality of the programmes which have heen broadcast have attracted the public sufficiently to encourage their investment in radio, That has meant a very big turnover in business for the radio trade generally. Inasmuch as the 40,000 mark, good as it is, represents only approximately 15 per cent. of the homes of the Dominion, it is plain that 1928 should continue to be a good radio year. With a continuance of the same energy, initiative, and a.capacity for service that have been displayed in the past twelve months, the succeeding year should witness steady and progressive growth and material enlargement of the radio circle. ,
