尽管计算机和电子网络在当代金融市场中已经无处不在，但电话作为一种通讯设备，在投资银行和经纪公司的交易室中仍然发挥着至关重要的作用。作者研究了这项技术，它的用途和它在许多经验情况下构建交易互动的方式，特别关注了该工具与交易屏幕和其他电子媒体的组合。与其他市场技术相比，电话强调双边对应物的识别。因此，电话的使用可以帮助描述特定市场结构的一个重要的社会学特征：即交易行为在多大程度上是基于对个别对手的认识。
Although computers and electronic networks have become pervasive in contemporary financial markets, the telephone keeps playing a crucial role as a communication device in the trading rooms of investment banks and brokerage houses. The author examines this technology, its uses and the way in which it frames trade interactions in a number of empirical situations, with particular attention to the combinations of this tool with trading screens and other electronic media. Compared to other market technologies, the telephone emphasizes the identification of bilateral counterparts. The use of the telephone can thus help characterizing an important sociological feature of particular market configurations: namely, the extent to which trading practices are based on the recognition of individual counterparts.
