Telephone Communications (No Radiotelephone)

The Telephone Communications (No Radiotelephone) industry under SIC 4813 encompasses wireline and fixed-network providers delivering local and long-distance voice, VoIP, and high-capacity data services over copper and increasingly fiber infrastructure. Core offerings include residential landline and broadband bundles, enterprise voice and data circuits, PBX and unified communications, wholesale carrier backhaul, and secure connectivity for government and critical infrastructure clients. Typical customers range from households and small businesses to large corporates, public-sector agencies, and other telecom operators relying on robust, low-latency networks. Operators face heavy capital intensity, pricing pressure from over-the-top apps, cybersecurity and outage risks, and close oversight from regulators on interconnection, service quality, emergency access, and customer privacy. In 2024–2025, the sector is driven by fiber-to-the-premises rollouts, fixed-mobile convergence, cloud-based collaboration tools, and consolidation among regional carriers.
