| Abstract | The article discusses the disruption of the lines of communication between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies which led to the Dutch government's investment in the construction of a wireless radio-connection to prevent future blockades. Topics discussed include an overview of the colonial lines of communication before and during World War 1, a description of how the radio connection between the Netherlands and the Indies came into being and the symbolic meaning of the wireless. |
