Marconi vs tesla
Over the years, there has been a lot of controversy over who the radio's programmer really is. Guglielmo Marconi and Nikolai Tesla are two men at the forefront of the controversy. Marconi is best known for his wireless telegraphy experiments and his 1896 patent for wireless telegraphy in England. He also founded Marconi Wireless Telegraph Ltd and broadcast the first signals across the Atlantic Ocean. Tesla invented a wireless radio in 1893 and obtained his patent in the United States in 1900.
Marconi eventually succeed in obtaining a patent in the United States in 1904, despite repeated requests to the US Patent Office, contributing to the so much confusion.
