For telecom corporations in mature markets like the United States, some companies are looking for new ways to drive profits. Several companies in the industry are building their data-center businesses in expectation of a move to cloud computing. The cloud computing trend could change the telecom business significantly, with both businesses and individuals storing their data in facilities designed to hold and secure their files and information.

Meanwhile, some companies in the telecom industry are also fighting for government subsidies to provide broadband service to underserved markets. With the large landmass of the United States, some 20 million Americans in rural areas are still without access to broadband internet.
