So is Wikipedia's definition "Telemarketing is defined as contacting, qualifying, and canvassing prospective customers using telecommunications devices such as telephone, fax, and internet" wrong? Or is it just misleadingly general?

Every dictionary I checked [1] [2] [3] [4] specifies that telemarketing is marketing via the phone. Telemarketing is telephone marketing.
