I don't see how *IDT really fits in this list. Niteowlneils 06:16, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] great page
But network operator shouldn't redirect here, it should go to it's own article, with a prominent link here. Mathiastck 13:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Linkfarm
Most of the external links should be removed per WP:EL, WP:SPAM, & WP:NOT#LINK --Ronz 03:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Removed. --Ronz 19:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List inclusion criteria
I propose all entries that do not have their own article be removed per WP:LIST, at least until we come up with better list inclusion criteria. --Ronz (talk) 22:36, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think the fact that these companies are in business is a strict enough criteria to provide some limit to length. Most countries have oligopolies in the telecom industry. I agree that external links aren't helpful most of the time and wouldn't mind having them removed for reasons previously stated. —Tokek (talk) 01:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, apparently the list can be long for some companies, e.g. List of Canadian telephone companies, but long ones can be made into sub-articles. I think this article can serve a purpose as a catch-all for countries whose lists are are too short to warrant an article of its own. Basically, I don't think we should apply your list inclusion criteria (must have a Wikipedia article) just yet. —Tokek (talk) 01:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
