The U.S. government is scrapping rules on telegraphs even though carriers no longer exist, part of the Trump administration’s effort to slash regulations, the Federal Communications Commission said on Thursday.

The last Western Union telegram in the United States was sent in 2006 and the commission had stopped enforcing the rules in 2013. The last major telegram service worldwide ended in India in 2013.

The FCC said in a notice it was removing “outmoded regulations” on telegraphs effective in November to “further our goals of reducing regulatory burdens, eliminating unnecessary rule provisions, and making the agency as efficient and effective as possible.”

They got rid of that in 2006.

Branch and link return? That’s covered up with a lot of rust.

Didn’t look right...

Next they'll be trying to scrap governmental rules on keypunch machine operation, and punch card usage...

I did my FORTRAN and COBOL programming in college with those things.

I'm getting old.

My parents refused to buy a computer for my bedroom as well as refusing to get me a web connection.

I was deprived as a kid. I need reparations!

Well, my memory says "Branch And Link Register", but mine is very rusty too.   (I just remember we had to do a lot of stuff in those dang "registers"!)

[Axenolith]

I figured it might be autocorrect... I bedevils us!

[Songcraft]

Wow, that was a dangerous way to write programs!   If you carried the tray of cards to a card reader, and you happened to sneeze, and that clamp mechanism in the back of the tray was loose...cards everywhere!

[Songcraft]

You should demand them!   (And maybe march around, yelling, "No Justice, No Peace!")

That tax has been gone since 2006.

For me the real question should be; why did we ever need regulations on telegraphs to begin with.

The only law regarding telegraphs should be preventing any interference in their use.

(And regarding the nail in the coffin of our yute --- we all probably just say "sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh".) = = = = = = = = = = = = = YEAH.....SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH It all began when W O'Malley stole my Brooklyn Dodgers when I was 16 .. I 'followed' them to LA but joined USN on 17th Birthday. EVERYTHING connected to my Naval Experience is 'gone' My rating Ships I served on are not only not in commission but the Class is no longer around. Now, with a swipe of a pen Morse Code is 'dead(er)'. The second MAJOR round of my yute being dismantled was when Pee Wee Reese passed on and now ALL are considering Vin Scully as the GRAND OLD(emphasize OLD) MAN in baseball but I remember him joining up with Red Barber and commenting he wouldn't last etc etc etc, Ray Boone 3B Cleveland has grandsons playing in MLB Sed fugit interea, fugit inreparabile tempus, (But time is lost , which never will renew), Loosely translated as Time Flies like an arrow, Fruit Flies like a banana.
