So,what is the connection between Alexander Graham Bell and IT and what is this thing called ‘telecom’?

Examples of such transmissions include calling from one phone location to another, sending data from computer to computer over phone lines or cables, relaying documents over facsimile machines, teleconferencing, sending voice and electronic mail, and transmitting cable television signals.
