Abstract
This article examines the discussions, written and oral, concerning broadcasting at its birth and leading up to the passage of the first law regulating radio. An attempt is made to identify certain models and metaphors through which men sought to envision the future of the new technology. Finally, the significance of using these models, rather than others, is noted.Keywords
