  3. Yes, it was Herbert Hoover, when he was Secretary of Commerce. April 27, 1927. It wasthe  first inter-city transmission of video imagery.

    Two hundred miles away, sixty men gathered in the midtown Manhattan laboratory of A.T. & T., listened and watched as Hoover gazed into a small black box and spoke into an ordinary telephone. "All we can say today is that there has been created a marvelous agency for whatever use the future may find with the full realization that every great and fundamental discovery of the past has been followed by use far beyond the vision of its creator."

    Said the "New York Times," "It was fun as if a photograph had suddenly come to life and begun to talk, smile, nod its head and look this way and that..." Hoover himself  limited his viewing to baseball games.
