Two industries are strongly represented: The domestic and foreign telecom services industry. In my view, these industries offer values for investors but for technology stocks, there are better investments with higher growth. The big burdens of telecom services stocks are huge infrastructure investments due to higher data volumes and low pricing power due to legislation rules and competitive forces. If you want to make big money within the technology sector, you should look at IT stocks and software companies.
