AC: Western Union dispatched its last telegram on Jan. 27, 2006, after 155 years of continuous service, and largely kept quiet about it.

Me: I remember lots of nostalgic posts, stories, etc. from that time. Maybe you were expecting advertisements crowing over ending such an iconic if obsolete service?
