In response to Karen Whetzel's question : This is another definition, a
composite from various sources.
-
Telecommunications is long distance communication using
electromagnetic systems.  It includes wire (telephone or telegraph and
computer networks) and broadcast transmission (radio, television, or
satellite).
-
The subject/noun agreement causes confusion, but the term
telecommunications means the field of telecommunications which
includes a range of technologies. The communication does not
necessarily have to be long distance, but distance is usually implied.
