What reading level is What is Wrong With the Telephone book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If its object was to get per- manent revenue for the State, experience has shown that it dismally failed; but if its object was to check the development of the telephone service in England it was a triumphant success. The result has been not to transform the telegraphs into a paying concern, but to turn the trunk lines into a losing concern — so much for Post Office control.
The next chapter in this miserable story of admin- istrative failure opens in 1900, when the Post Office suddenly repudia...ted its obligations to the licensed Company and threw open the door to general compe- tition. That action knocked twenty-five per cent, off the value of the National Telephone Company's secur- ities and made its author, Mr. Hanbury, a member of the Cabinet ; but it had no other recognizable results. The Post Office tried to start a second system in London, but in two years it discovered its mistake and had to ask the Company for its assistance and co-op- eration. It granted licenses to cities that demanded municipal ownership, but the policy of mutual throt- tling and antagonistic rivalries between them, the Company, and the Post Office system resulted in inev- itable failure.
