Question

T/F: The government seized control of wireless communications in the early days in order to stabilize the market and break up emerging monopolies.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is False.

Explanation:

The event mentioned in the question is the government taking control of the wireless communications throughout during the late 1910s around the time the wireless technologies such as radio communications were introduced. They became very popular because they were used heavily during WWI and they weren't easily interceptable or cut-off like the land lines used by telegraphs and such. The government took control of the wireless communications for safety during WWI, not in order to stabilize the market and to break up emerging monopolies. So the reason in the question is wrong.

I hope this answer helps.
