When looking at the companies in the Communications Services sector it is a dichotomy of haves and have nots. About half the companies have very high yields, while the other half have low yields. Some are more heavily tied to the declining ?land-line? industry, while others are aggressively growing their wireless business.
Probably more than any other sector, the astute investor looking for Communications Services dividend stocks has to spend significant time understanding each company. Where it is positioned? What is its strategic plan? How does it plan to get there?
