Filed under: Industry, Stocks to Buy The telecom business is definitely not recession-proof, as those that have followed the industry have recently realized, but it is not a field that is going to fade into the horizon any time soon either.

Although many of the foreign telecom companies included in the ETFI Global Telco Services Dividend Income Index issued special one-time dividends over the past year which inflates their trailing 12-month yield; both Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) are currently yielding over 6% each while trading at multi-year lows.

Now the company seeks more venues to spread brand and to source revenue, as in the Hassar case, the UK mobile market seems to be saturated.
