bell has been widely recognized as the "inventor" of the telephone outside of italy, where meucci was championed as its inventor. in the united states, there are numerous reflections of bell as a north american icon for inventing the telephone, and the matter was for a long time non-controversial. in june 2002, however, the united states house of representatives passed a symbolic bill recognizing the contributions of antonio meucci ""in the invention of the telephone"" (not ""for the invention of the telephone""), throwing the matter into some controversy. ten days later the canadian parliament countered with a symbolic motion conferring official recognition for the invention of the telephone to bell.
