Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite)

NAICS 517312 · Federal Contracts & Awards

$1,231,288,984.84 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum for Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite) (NAICS 517312) in FY2024. About eighty-seven percent of this except-satellite wireless extract lands in FY2024. Wireless is not wired carriers (517311) and not telephone apparatus (334210). This page is the industry-and-year join: Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite) (NAICS 517312) crossed with federal fiscal year 2024 — not every federal dollar in FY2024, not Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite)'s $1,409,467,063.86 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 87.4% of this industry's published obligation total. 9,315 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2024-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

Key figures

  • Wireless Telecom Carriers in FY2024: $1,231,288,984.84 in USAspending obligations (NAICS 517312).
  • That cell is 87.4% of the industry's $1,409,467,063.86 extract-wide total.
  • 9,315 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2024 census.
  • NAICS 517312 × FY2024 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote /industries/517312/ and /fiscal-years/2024/ if live tables moved.

What the Wireless Telecom Carriers–FY2024 pair reports

NAICS 517312 and fiscal year 2024 share one yearlyTrend cell. $1,231,288,984.84 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the row that carries both tags. It is not Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite)'s nationwide all-year total of $1,409,467,063.86, not every federal dollar coded to FY2024, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split spectrum bands or except-satellite wireless lines. 9,315 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a subscriber census, a tower inventory, or a named-carrier roster.

Read /industries/517312/ (NAICS 517312) for the industry table without this FY2024 filter, /fiscal-years/2024/ (FY2024 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Those hubs are parents, not addends to $1,231,288,984.84. Except-satellite is the NAICS scope. This page will not invent a satellite remainder. Keep 517312 on FY2024.

FY2024 next to the longer Wireless Telecom Carriers book

USAspending labels NAICS 517312 as Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite). That code produced $1,231,288,984.84 when crossed with fiscal year 2024. The industry-wide 517312 hub does not require a FY2024 filter. The year hub does not require Wireless Telecom Carriers. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split spectrum bands or except-satellite wireless lines. FY2024 wireless dollars stay on this yearlyTrend row. Other years for 517312 are other cells.

Correlation is not causation: FY2024 did not produce $1,231,288,984.84 merely by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 517312 × FY2024 only. This cell is not a subscriber census, a tower inventory, or a named-carrier roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Nine thousand three hundred fifteen industry-extract awards describe 517312 across years, not a FY2024 subscriber census.

Questions

How much Wireless Telecom Carriers spending is obligated in FY2024?
USAspending.gov lists $1,231,288,984.84 in Wireless Telecommunications Carriers (Except Satellite) (NAICS 517312) obligations for FY2024. That yearlyTrend amount is 87.4% of the industry's $1,409,467,063.86 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2024. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Is $1,231,288,984.84 the entire Wireless Telecom Carriers USAspending total?
No. NAICS 517312's extract-wide total is $1,409,467,063.86. FY2024 is 87.4% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/517312/ into this join. 9,315 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
Is $1,231,288,984.84 cash already paid in FY2024?
No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $1,231,288,984.84 as checks already cleared in FY2024 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
Where is the live Wireless Telecom Carriers–FY2024 table?
/industries/517312/ is the industry parent and /fiscal-years/2024/ is the year parent. /industries/ covers every industry without the NAICS×year intersection as the headline. /ties/ lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $1,231,288,984.84.

USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
