telecommunication is the transmission of information from one location to another over a network? true or false
true
I don't know how you are defining "network".
For example, if I want to watch a local TV newscast, I can do that by turning on my TV and picking up the local TV station. But I don't think the local TV station is considered a network so they are a lone voice in the wilderness broadcasting and I'm watching. That is telecommunications but in my opinion not a network. That changes if I'm using the same station but watching NATIONAL news broadcasting from New York or Washington via ABC or NBC. In my opinion that is a network. Likewise, I happen to be an amateur radio operator with transmitting privileges. I can turn on my transmitter and talk to people around the world. Certainly that is telecommunications but no network is involved. That's one person talking to another person individually (although others tuned to the same frequency can hear that same conversation). Under those circumstances I think I would answer that the question is false; i.e., telecommunications is communication from one location to another BUT not necessarily over a network.
