Default [Psionic Powers] Telecommunication Universal Enhancement Question

Let's say you have Telecommunication-Telesend as a psionic ability with the Universal Enhancement. So now you can communicate and you both understand each other's language. [B91]

Now, let's say you add Mind Probe and Mind Reading with the Telecommunication Limitation. So now you can Mind Probe and Mind Read someone, but only when you're in contact via Telecommunication. [B69-70]

My question is: when you use Mind Probe and Mind Reading on someone with whom you do not share a language, will you be able to Probe and Read their mind because of the Universal Telecommunication link? Or, do you need to purchase the Universal Enhancement again for both Mind Probe and Mind Reading?

In GURPS: Psionic Powers, there is a Universal Technique that does the same thing. If you have the technique for your Telecommunication ability, does it translate to all abilities that have the Telecommunication Limitation applied to them? Or, would you have to purchase this Technique again for each additional ability?

My impression is that the Telecommunication Limitation implies that the ability works *through* the Telecommunication ability. Since that ability auto-translates for you, any abilities that make use of it benefit from it. Does anybody want to try and talk me out if this?
