Alexander Graham Bell was the first to realize that telephones must work over long
distances in order to be successful as a means of communication. With that in mind,
only 12 months after he first invented the telephone in 1876, Bell managed to extend
the reach of a telephone from its original eight miles to a distance of 143 miles.
