I work in that telecommunications cloud. 15 years ago I was taking a data communications class, as part of curriculum for computer science. Each student had to prepare a talk on an aspect of data communications. As modems were still the primary method of data communications for most people, I gave the first talk on the telecommunications  cloud, because that is/was data communications at its most rudimentary. I was able to do it without advance preparation, off the "top of my head," but I recognized that it was all brand new to everyone else in the class, even the datacom guy who worked for the same employer. That is because few people care what is in the cloud as long as it works.

LOL,   No, the cloud isn't above Cuckoo Land.

In telecommunications diagrams the two ends are not directly connected.  They go through a "cloud".    A lot of stuff happens in the "cloud".  I went to "cloud school" a number of years ago.  The class was two weeks including travel to the school and back home.  There is switching and other things done in the "cloud" that make this note get to the system at RIT when I hit send.  Parts of the class I attended covered the concepts, the hardware, and the programming that make this note get to RIT.
