[edit] Telco hybrid

I'm sorry but isn't a telephone hybrid a more generic device to separate the incoming and outgoing audio that would otherwise be carried on the same signal? This seems consistent with the first statement in the article then it goes off on a long tangent about television and radio stations. I think the most common use of these is to put signals on fiber for long distance. Servingsper 03:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

There are hybrids in every phone and line card and they are discussed in the hybrid coil article. Perhaps that one should be updated, and this article, which is written from a broadcasting POV (see its use of "normal") should clarify that it is discussing a special case.
