The telegraph was primarily used for commercial and governmental communication rather than in private homes. While some affluent individuals might have had access to telegraph services, it was not a common household item like the telephone became later. The telegraph required specialized equipment and was operated by trained personnel, making it more suited for businesses and public institutions.
