By 1900, Marconi's plans and pretensions for the development and application of his system of wireless telegraphy were extensive and all-embracing. As previously mentioned, he had demonstrated land station-to-land station, shore-to lightship, shore-to-lighthouse, and ship-to-ship, communications and had shown their worth to officers of the Army and the Royal Navy, to civil servants of the General Post Office and to officials of Trinity House. The potential of wireless telegraphy for strategic and tactical Service operations, for saving lives at sea, for coastguard duties, for business and social intercourse was unquestioned and seemed to be limitless. Some of these uses for example, ship-to-ship signalling could not, of course, be provided by the well-developed cable systems.
