Who remembers rotary phones and push button phones that were connected to land lines?  Now we all rely on cell phones and telecommunications companies have evolved to provide way more services than just phone calls.  In addition to wired and mobile telephone services, many telecoms now provide television services, wireless internet, homes security, and more!  The telecommunications sector has seen phenomenal changes over the last thirty years.
