Wired Telecommunications Carriers

NAICS 517311 joined with fiscal year 2025

The relationship is mechanical: NAICS 517311 crossed with fiscal year 2025 yields one obligation sum. $301,684,424.82 is that sum for Wired Telecommunications Carriers in 2025. USAspending.gov publishes the figure as a yearlyTrend obligation total. Obligations are commitments recorded on awards, not Treasury outlays. The industry-wide extract remains $1,574,512,775.40; the FY2025 hub remains a separate parent. This pair does not explain why agencies bought wired telecommunications carrier awards, and it does not name contractors or award recipients.

Nothing in the facts supports reading $301,684,424.82 as a count of carriers, lines, or named networks. This slug is disambiguated by NAICS 517311; other wired-telecom ties are separate cells. Correlation between this NAICS label and FY2025 spending is the join itself, not a causal story. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these USAspending obligations. Place-of-performance and awarding-agency splits are omitted from this packet.

Wired telecommunications carrier awards is the NAICS description attached to the awards, not a proof of goods delivered. A later USAspending ingest can restate $301,684,424.82 or $1,574,512,775.40 without changing the join keys. Do not add the all-industries index into this cell. The 19.2% share is $301,684,424.82 divided by $1,574,512,775.40, not a budget score or a ranking of industries.

Do FEC filings explain Wired Telecommunications Carriers obligations in FY2025?
