Useless bit of Brad trivia: My favorite telephony term is "dark fiber". I think it sounds kind of mysterious.

Why would I be familiar with that term? The first 12 years of my career were spent in the telecom departments of national and international banks.

I would estimate that over 99% of the population doesn't know how to pronounce "telephony". A postcard in your name will be on its way if you leave me a voicemail pronouncing it correctly.
