Abstract :
Though the integration of all modes of electrical communication is a practical fait accompli under the progress and aegis of information theory, the fact remains that there is an undeniable and healthy competition between wire and wireless means in almost all communication fields. I would like to present some aspects of this technical feud together with some personal technical souvenirs at this occasion.
