Telecom Carriers & Network Equipment

Own the communications networks that carry household and business traffic, alongside the companies supplying their routing, optical transport and fiber infrastructure.

The current technology sell-off makes this a timely diversification candidate, although carrier competition and uneven equipment spending remain risks.
