Discusses the use of wireless communication during World War I. It argues that the technology could have made a profound impact on tactical operations, but that it did not fulfill its promise as a military tool until years later because of the British Army's institutional bias against wireless communication, which was reinforced by the crude, unreliable wireless sets with which the army began the war.
