Telecom Sector Not Responding With Economy
from the not-yet dept
A new study suggests that the telecom industry isn't rebounding like most of the rest of the economy. Of course, this is entirely based on the number of job cuts in the industry - which isn't necessarily a sign of economic health. Plus, I tend to think that job cuts lag economic recovery. Finally, maybe it's a good thing that the telecom sector is cutting jobs. It seems that many of the companies simply over expanded when they had no reason to. In the long term, I'm not too worried about telecom.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
