As far as I know, Telecommunication is just a subset of communication. 10:25, 20 February 2006 User:Githin
This is a very very inaccurate article - it looks like it was written by a technical operative (or not very technical technician) in a telecommunications company who would like to call himself an 'Engineer'. It describes the work of a general operative in a Telecommunications operator, for which there can be very little actual 'Engineering'. Trying to describe a telecommunications engineer as encompassing civil and structural engineering, book-keeping ("being accounting assistant"), and general clerical work ("keeping the records") is just plain wrong. The people described in this article may work on equipment designed by Engineers, but they are not Engineers. Perhaps the confusion may be because it might have been written by someone in Britain, as this is the only country in the world where they (erroneously) refer to technicians & technical operatives as 'Engineers' (this is especially obvious where they write the following: "Outside plant (OSP) engineers also often are called field engineers [sic] as they often spend much time in the field taking notes about the civil environment, aerial, above ground, and below ground" - this clearly describes not the work of an Engineer - as understood around the world - but that of a technical operative, and possibly that of a technician if there is something more intellectually-technically demanding) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.113.57.161 ( talk) 19:53, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Cell phones are a huge piece of telecommunications today and this goes unmentioned in this article. ~ Kvng ( talk) 15:58, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
I wonder if anyone feel the history portion of this article delves too far into the scientific experimentation and invention of telecom methods rather than focusing on the application of those inventions. Engineering is more about applying known science rather than experimental development. Engineers take those inventions and apply them to a societal need. Engineers almost never “invent” things. Should this section of the article be better presented in the telecommunications article? It’s almost voluminous enough to deserve its own article. Just my thought on this, if anyone is even watching this article anymore. Thoughts? TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 07:03, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
