The production of photons with energies in the range where at present the 3° blackbody radiation is observed from less energetic radio photons of galactic and metagalactic origin is investigated. It is shown that this process cannot contribute significantly to the observed intensity. At an earlier stage of the development of the universe, Compton events were probably much more frequent. However, since under plausible assumptions on the energy distribution of cosmic-ray electrons Compton scatterings do not produce a blackbody spectrum, our results can be used to establish an upper limit for the density of relativistic electrons and radio photons at the time of original galaxy formation.
