What is the importance of switching in telephone systems?

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Switching allows for multiple calls or messages to be transmitted through a central hub at the same time. Without switching, each customer would require a dedicated line to each other customer. Switches direct information to its intended destination and let users take turns using expensive transmission circuits. Increasingly, telephone calls are carried on packet switched networks using Internet technology.
