I tried looking this (T-carrier system) up on Whatis.com, but they didn't
answer this directly.
My best guess based on their definition, which includes...
"The original transmission rate (1.544 Mbps) in the T-1 line is in
common use today in Internet service provider (Internet service provider)
connections to the Internet."
...would be "Transmission", but that probably doesn't help because it's not
stated that the T = Transmission.

Does anyone have any idea what the "T" in T-carrier systems (T-1, T-3
etc...) stands for???
Nobody seems to know this answer for sure (or care).
