Solution
The difference between point-to-point mode of communication and broadcast mode of communication :
| Point-to-point mode of communication | Broadcast mode of communication |
| Point to point communication mode is the communication over a link between a single transmitter and a receiver. | In broadcast mode large number of receivers are linked to a single transmitter. |
| Only one receiver is involved here | A large number of receivers may be involved. |
| Telephone is an example of such a system. | Radio is example of such system. |
