Step 1
Decide if Telecommunications Carriers is the right industry to target
The Telecommunications Carriers industry
The Telecommunications Carriers industry consists of businesses that own, operate, and maintain the physical infrastructure used to transmit voice, data, and video communications. These companies are the backbone of wired and wireless telecommunications networks, providing the essential infrastructure that enables us to connect with each other.
What businesses are included
This industry includes a variety of players. It encompasses companies that operate traditional landline telephone networks, providing voice services over copper wires. It also includes companies that install and maintain fiber optic cables, providing high-speed data transmission for internet and other services. Additionally, this industry includes mobile network operators that build and operate cell towers, enabling mobile phone communication. For example, a company that lays fiber optic cables across a country to provide high-speed internet access would fall under this industry.

Which businesses are not included
It's important to distinguish telecommunications carriers from businesses that provide services directly to end-users. While carriers own the infrastructure, companies that offer internet, television, or mobile phone services to consumers and businesses are considered internet service providers (ISPs), cable companies, or mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). Similarly, businesses that manufacture telecommunications equipment, such as routers, switches, or mobile phones, are not part of this industry.
