It is exceedingly interesting to note that the laboratory obstacles in the way of television have finally been removed, and that all that keeps us from enjoying this newest miracle of science on the same basis as the ordinary radio is a network of commercial problems.
So the Federal Communications commission reports to congress. It points out that equipment for extending the range of man's sight to the same extent that his hearing has already been extended has now been perfected.
Actual extension of large-scale television to the ordinary home, however, must wait until the complex commercial problems involved are solved.
This, really, is just another way of saying that we shall soon have television. For if anything is certain, it is that the American business community can solve any kind of purely commercial problem you can hand it.
If the scientific hurdles have been passed, the others won't stand in the way very long.
