The telecommunications industry is responsible for radio, television, voice communications, and broadband services. The growth and innovation of the telecom industry has enabled people to communicate across the globe and access endless amounts of information over the internet. Broadband services are becoming faster and easier to access with fiber optic networks and wireless services like WiMax and CDMA. Many of the major telecom companies have merged over the last 10 years in order to offer massive product and service portfolios, as well as further capitalize on bundled media packages ('triple play"). These new technologies and growth through mergers are enabling these companies to find new revenue sources and growth opportunities in a mostly mature market.
