- The data in this report is from 2015
- The telecom industry in the US spends about $10B per year in R&D (mostly on 5G now), or a little less than 2% of the R&D total R&D spending, so changes wouldn't move the needle much in studies like this
- This study said that R&D spending increased in all regions of the world including the US
