dbo:abstract
  • The Tel-musici was an early entertainment innovation, which used telephone lines to transmit phonograph recordings to individual households. Subscribers called a central "music room" to request selections, which they listened to at home over specially designed loudspeakers called "magnaphones". The service later incorporated live programs, expanding its operations to more along the lines of a general "telephone newspaper". A Tel-musici company was incorporated in Delaware in 1908, and the service began operation in Wilmington the next year. However, although there were plans to expand throughout the United States, only this single location ever became operational, until it ceased operations around 1914. (en)
  • O Tel-musici foi uma inovação de entretenimento pioneira, que usava linhas telefônicas para transmitir gravações fonográficas para as casas de assinantes. Os assinantes ligavam para uma "central musical" para solicitar seleções que eram depois ouvidas com fones de ouvido especiais, denominados "magnafones". Mais tarde, o serviço passou a incluir programas ao vivo e a expandir suas operações, de modo a se tornar um "jornal telefônico". Uma empresa com o sistea Tel-musici foi fundada em Delaware em 1908 e o serviço começou suas operações em Wilmington no ano seguinte. Entretanto, embora houvessem planos de expansão do sistema por todos os Estados Unidos, somente nesta localidade o serviço chegou à fase operacional, até que encerrasse suas operações por volta de 1914.
