I get it. Telecom stocks are tough to buy right now. And they’ve been that way for some time.  

When it comes to telecom stocks, there are just so many headwinds. Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) continues to change the media consumption landscape, and not for the better of telecom companies. Everyone is cutting the cord, and the pace of cord-cutting isn’t slowing down. If anything, it is accelerating. Meanwhile, adverse wireless pricing trends have been a problem for several years, voice-related businesses are becoming a relic of the past, and competition from technology companies on all fronts is only getting stiffer.
