  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A type of telephone call billing where charges begin when the receiving telephone is answered, regardless of who answers it. This contrasts with a person-to-person call, which required operator assistance to connect a specific individual and was billed at a higher rate. Station-to-station dialing became the default for customer-dialed long-distance calls with the expansion of automated switching systems.",
