Eastern Telegraph's Vast Network of Undersea Cables, Circa 1901



The year Queen Victoria died and Emperor Hirohito was born, there already existed a globe-spanning network of electronic communications cables... wew... 1901 sudah ada sambungan telepon di Jakarta

The Eastern Telegraph Company expanded the cable length from 8,860 miles on its founding to 22,400 miles just 15 years later. The Company steadily took over a number of companies founded to connect the West Indies and South America, leading to a name change to The Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies.

Cable to India, Singapore, Far East and Australasia
An 1863 cable to Bombay provided a crucial link to Saudi Arabia.[5] In 1870 Bombay was linked to London via submarine cable in a combined operation by four cable companies, at the behest of the British Government. In 1872 these four companies were combined to form the mammoth globespanning Eastern Telegraph Company, owned by John Pender. A spin-off from Eastern Telegraph Company was a second sister company, the Eastern Extension, China and Australasia Telegraph Company, commonly known simply as "the Extension". In 1872, Australia was linked by cable to Bombay via Singapore and China and in 1876 the cable linked the British Empire from London to New Zealand.
