By this argument, phone service isn't telecommunications either because my cell service provider installed software on my phone, offers cloud storage, and uses computers to route my call data.

Every form of long-distance communications relies on computer processing in the modern world, so if anything we need to update the definition of "telecommunications" accordingly.
