Bell and Gray 14 February 1876 telephone patent

Seems like the race to file the telephone patent between Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray started on February 14th, 1876 when there was an apparent rush that day to fill and deposit the telephone patent forms for the telephone designs, however, it was too late for Gray an electric engineer founder of Western Electric Manufacturing Company and professor at Oberlin College, according to the records Bell’s lawyer filed #5 application of the day and Gray’s was the #39.

The last 3 days leading to that Monday, February 14 are very controversial. Gray has not told anyone about his invention for transmitting voice when he finally commented about it on February 11th, 1876. Some say that when Bell heard about Gray’s device, he asked his lawyer to start working on the documentation for the design he has been working on for a long time, however it had only been patented by Great Britain who would not accept patents on inventions that were patented in other countries before.

The Federal Communications Commission, also known as the FCC, is a big independent organization of the US government which was created to control and regulate communications by satellite, radio, television, wire, or cable. 

Why was the FCC created?

The FCC was solemnly created for the purpose of safety of life and possessions through the use of wire or radio communications, for all residents of the USA without any discrimination based on color, race, sex, or religion. 

The FCC has control and authority in all 50 states of the US to oversee the communications technologies which are transmitted by telephone. 

One of the FCC programs known as the Do Not Call list is to provide all USA residents and customers with protection against telemarketing calls.  Many residents do not want these calls received at home and can be protected against them with this organization.
