Communications are a more vital sector in Canada now than ever.
The TSX Comm and Media sector is dominated by several big media and telecom giants. BCE (Bell Canada), Rogers and Telus are the big three dominant players in Canadian telecom and some have suggested they run a virtual monopoly on the sector in Canada. You can invest in each of these phone plays with ease on the TSX through your broker
Some of these companies are more established than other. The mega-cap Canadian telecom giants pay dividends and are not the same growth opporunities that some of these other stocks represent.
Some represent news agencies with online portals and print editions (newspapers) and some are entirely composed of what investors refer to as 'new media' online content. Depending on your investment profile, there may be a number of great options for you available in this sector to choose from.
