"The field of Telecommunications can be described as a science and a technology (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). The science it particular describes is the science of communication over distances of electronic waves (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). Telecommunication can occur through cables and telephones, through radio or televisions (Kleiner and Polak, 2001). The telecommunications industry is ever changing, described best by fierce competition and state of the art technology (Kleiner and Polak, 2001)."
