I bet this guy still says "Cellular Telephonograph" too.

It's transmitting your voice over the internet protocol, which means IP encapsulation of audio data carried over wired or wireless level 3 network communication equipment and reassembled to form an almost continuous stream of digitized audio data that your audio card can synthesize as electronic pulses to your speakers.

Or, I guess, two cans and a string. Whatever explanation keeps you from ranting further about a non-issue.

is fiber cable transmission wireless? because its not even covered with the definition of wire

It's considered a form of wired communication. Even though technically it's not a "wire". There is no third group - it's either wired or wireless.

Within that, it's still a form of ethernet (unless it's FDDI).

There is also the term fibre to the home (but thats a weird denglish term some germans invented). So there seems to be a difference, because everyone speaks about Cables (kabel) in germany and so we do differ between copper-cable and fibre-cable. While wire is "draht" so quite more accurate in this over here.

Fiber to the home is still fiber optic. Normally the cable company runs coax or broadband cable to your home. More recently some companies have offered to run fiber right to your doorstep.

In English we differentiate it using the term fiber cable and copper cable. However, in both cases physical media is required for the network to run, unlike wireless which is, as the name suggests, free of wires.

Like fiber and copper, there are also several forms of wireless communication and not all of them use radio waves.

In the end, the term wired and wireless is only meant to differentiate whether physical media is used to connect two nodes.

This means Internet protocols are STILL being used to effect communication the way PGI has set up.
