Telecom History: Did You Know?

After having dug to a depth of 1000 meters last year, Scottish scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years and came to the
conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than
1000 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English
scientists dug to a depth of 2000 meters and shortly after headlines in the
UK newspapers read; English archaeologists have found traces of 2000 year
old fibre-optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors already had an
advanced high-tech digital communications network a thousand years earlier
than the Scots.

One week later, Irish newspapers reported the following: After digging as
deep as 5000 meters in a County Mayo bog, Irish scientists have found
absolutely nothing. They, therefore, have concluded that 5000 years ago,
Ireland inhabitants were already using wireless technology.
