What challenges did Alexander grahm bell face?

Answer 1

One of the chief challenges faced by Alexander Graham Bell upon invention of the telephone is that so many Americans opposed it. Courier services who were accustomed to making many deliveries in large towns knew they would lose their business.

Congress was one of the worst opponents. They were extremely afraid that the phones wouldn't work and they'd be left without means of communication since the pages they hired to do leg work would have to be terminated.

Answer 2

I am sure he had many problems. one of the main ones was people not believing him. his mom and sister were deaf and this helped him in his invention. here is some info from the web about how people felt.

"It was Bell's invention of the telephone that caused the greatest controversy. Some wrote Bell off as a mad scientist who was challenging the laws of nature. Others tried to argue that telephones were somehow of the devil and against The Bible. There were widespread fears that telephones would spread disease and even insanity over the telephone wires. During an 18-year period, Bell faced and won over 600 lawsuits challenging his telephone patent. The first business use of the telephone began in 1877. By 1888, there were over 150,000 users in North America. The cost of having a phone installed in 1888 was $10, the equivalent of a whole year's wage for a servant. As of 1999, there are literally hundred of millions who might find it hard to imagine life without a phone. When Bell's body was buried in 1922 on top of a Cape Breton Island mountain, every telephone in North America observed a minute's silence. Thomas Edison, a rival and friend, said at that time: 'My late friend Alexander Graham Bell, whose world-famed invention annihilated time and space, and brought the human family in closer touch.'"
