I always assumed that when making a telephone call the line to the
otherside is the same the line back from him to me. The other day
someone told me that this is not the case, especially when making a
international phone call.  According to him it is possible that for
example when calling from europe to the USA one line could use a
satellite connection while the other could use a transatlantic cable.
Is this true?
