Hi, is there a difference between the term 'communications systems' and 'communication systems'?

Somewhere we've done this before. I've forgotten the conclusion, but I agree with Ms Google:

4,770,000 for "communication systems"
2,650,000 for "communications systems"

Hi Charles,

You are right -- I remember asking the same question and getting an answer from you and just like I forgot the conclusion which fine as it means that the difference is insignificant.

Many thanks,
Torsten
