Guide to Telecommunications Information Resources

Find the right telecommunications information resources for your business

By Nikki Davis


Telecom information can benefit your business in a number of ways. You can use information about telecommunication companies to make a purchasing or service provider decision for the telecom needs of your company. You can use a telecommunication industry report to see where your business stands in the field of competitors. You can also use telecommunication reference materials to stay informed as to the latest news in the industry.

Telecommunications research has come a long way, and it continues to surpass technological expectations rapidly. From the advent of the cell phone, to the BlackBerry and Bluetooth, telecom research continues to give us smaller, more efficient, and often times cheaper alternatives for our telecommunications needs.

To make the most of available telecommunications information resources:

1. Start looking for telecom information through regularly updated news sources.

2. Speak to a professional as another telecommunication resource avenue.

3. Follow up with trade publications to find additional telecommunications research information.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Find the most current telecom information news

Stay informed as to the latest telecom research through regularly, if not daily, updated sites. Many can offer you a wide variety of topical information about the industry as well as your competitors.

I recommend: Check out the latest telecom news from Topix. Look at the latest telecommunications news, analysis, marketing research and consulting information from TelecomWeb. Consider scanning the telecom section of TechNewsWorld. Find additional information on telecommunication resources from ConsumerAffairs.com.

Seek telecommunications information from the experts

If you are seeking telecom information for an installation for your business, let the professionals in the field tell you all about the telecom reference information that you need to make an informed decision.

I recommend: Look at the business phone system resources TDS Telecom can provide you. Check out the business products available through Integra Telecom. Look at solutions by business type from Time Warner's tw telecom. Consider the telecom solutions from Sunrise Telecom.

Read the latest telecommunications research

Keep up with the most up-to-date telecom information through trade publications such as magazines, newsletters and journals.

I recommend: Sign up for Telecommunications Magazine or one of its many newsletters. Subscribe to Telephony Magazine or one of a number of available newsletters. Consider subscribing to IEEE Communications Magazine, which is noted as the third most cited telecom magazine available. Consider picking up a copy of Telecommunication Systems.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • •  When speaking to qualified professionals for your telecom information, seek out the expertise of at least three businesses before making a service contract or purchasing commitment.
  • •  If price is a factor, consider year old technology for your next telecommunications tool. Prices drop rapidly after the initial introduction of a product, and being patient can save you tens if not hundreds of dollars.
