India's Last Telegram Will Be Sent in July Empty India's Last Telegram Will Be Sent in July

Those of you who live in India - will you send one last telegram for the sake of nostalgia?

William O'Shaughnessy -- who would later become famous for his early experiments with medical cannabis -- sent a coded message over a telegraph line in India. His telegram would usher in a new age of communication in and for India, connecting the country in a way that had never before been possible. Now, sometime on July 14, 2013, someone in India will have a dubious honor: he or she will send the country's last telegram. The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, India's state-run telecom company, will shutter its telegram service, bringing the long era of Indian telegraphy from a dash ... to a full stop.

Dont know why, kind of makes me feel sad, just like it did when they stopped making the Walkman. :-(
