A dial-a-disc announcement from 1971. Dial-a-disc was a service ran by the GPO (now BT) enabling callers to listen to a song down a telephone line. It was charged at a local call rate from residential telephone lines, but was free of charge from payphones.
The number to reach this service was 16 or 160 depending upon the location of your telephone exchange. It was phased out in the mid-late 1980’s after there was no longer a popular demand for this service, and telephone exchanges were converted from analogue (pulse) to digital (tone). As well as FM radio’s becoming widely and cheaply available, thus making the inferior sound quality of a Dial-a-Disc phone call seem unappealing.. Lack of any song selection ability was another factor in its demise.
This ex GPO service still continues to be a talking point amongst adults.
Whilst Dial a Disc primarily played a specific song, it was also used for other services such as relaying Cricket results and in certain areas, would play a local commercial radio station outwith specific times. The service was also relayed, which meant you would hear a record play dependant when you called. i.e you could call during the last 10 seconds of a song, and that’s when the song would start as opposed to more advanced digital systems which are now able to play directly from the start upon your connection.
Technical faults with this service were common. It was said you were able to have conversations with other callers into the service (albeit faintly) - a technical glitch overlooked. As songs were played directly from a record turntable, very occasionaly there was a chance the record would scratch or skip and relay this down the telephone. This was however very uncommon, and the service was always highly efficient.
The service ran from local exchanges, due to the way telephone exchanges were mapped out and to prevent hogging long distance connections (formely known as Trunk Calls) and using excess electricity to relay this service country wide.

Quiet gives us 55 delicate seconds with Leonardo DiCaprio lying on a grassy hill in a beautiful place out in the country. The scene is bathed in golden sunlight as bugs and pollen swirl about. Deep focus creates lush detail. Pulling out his pocket communicator, he reads “When are you arriving back?” He sets it aside with a simple “Whatever,” and, silhouetted against the landscape, continues his rest.
The commercial premiered on Italian television in September of 2000 as the conclusion to a campaign of four ads featuring well-known directors (Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Ridley Scott) starring well-known figures.
The scene was set to the pastoral music of Boards of Canada, who gave Chris 1.5 hours of music for the project, as they did for Chris’s Nissan campaign.

Predicting consumer behaviour has always been one of the key challenges in the telecom and media sector. Detecting any early indicators of change will be crucial for telecom and media players to gain insight and ready themselves for whatever awaits them in the future.
The habits of the 15–24 year old age group, the technology-savvy generation, herald the changes in the way we will communicate and consume content in the future.
Capgemini’s TME Strategy Lab analyzed these so-called “digital natives” in order to identify emerging patterns of consumer behaviour. The attitudes of this generation are underlined by the need to control, socialize, create and make efficient use of their time. To take advantage, telecom and media players need to redefine their relationships with their customers, offering services that increase consumer involvement as well as create addictive experiences.
