While growth is an added bonus, investors have flocked to the telecom industry for their high yielding dividends as investment rates are near record lows. As a result of their stable revenues, many telecom companies currently pay dividends that yield in excess of 5 percent.
The rapidly growing popularity of mobile devices -- such as tablets and smartphones -- has led to an increase in demand for data services.
