Telephony is the technology associated with the electronic transmission of voice,
fax, or other information between distant parties using systems historically associated with
the telephone, a handheld device containing both a speaker or transmitter and a receiver.
With the arrival of computers and the transmittal of digital information over telephone systems
and the use of radio to transmit telephone signals, the distinction between telephony and telecommunication has
become difficult to make.
Internet telephony is the use of the Internet rather than the traditional telephone company
infrastructure and rate structure to exchange spoken or other telephone information. Since
access to the Internet is available at local phone connection rates, an international or other
long-distance call will be much less expensive than through the traditional call arrangement.
