Wired Telecommunications Carriers (NAICS 517311) federal obligations in FY2024
USAspending.gov tags $1,265,993,642.04 to Wired Telecommunications Carriers (NAICS 517311) in fiscal year 2024. About eighty percent of this wired-carrier extract sits on FY2024. The -2 slug is a duplicate-path disambiguator: quote 517311 so this join is not confused with another wired-year page. This page is the industry-and-year join: Wired Telecommunications Carriers (NAICS 517311) crossed with federal fiscal year 2024 — not every federal dollar in FY2024, not Wired Telecommunications Carriers's $1,574,512,775.40 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 80.4% of this industry's published obligation total. 9,081 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2024-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

The FY2024 slice of Wired Telecom Carriers
NAICS 517311 and fiscal year 2024 share one yearlyTrend cell. $1,265,993,642.04 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the row that carries both tags. It is not Wired Telecommunications Carriers's nationwide all-year total of $1,574,512,775.40, not every federal dollar coded to FY2024, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split voice from data lines, or contract from assistance. 9,081 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a circuit inventory, a subscriber census, or a named-carrier roster.
Read /industries/517311/ (NAICS 517311) 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 $1,265,993,642.04. Wired carriers are not wireless carriers except satellite (517312) and not telephone apparatus manufacturing (334210). Keep 517311.
wired telecommunications carriers all-years versus one fiscal year
USAspending labels NAICS 517311 as Wired Telecommunications Carriers. That code produced $1,265,993,642.04 when crossed with fiscal year 2024. The industry-wide 517311 hub does not require a FY2024 filter. The year hub does not require Wired Telecom Carriers. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split voice from data lines, or contract from assistance. FY2024 wired-carrier dollars stay on this yearlyTrend row. Other years for 517311 are other cells.
Correlation is not causation: FY2024 did not produce $1,265,993,642.04 merely by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 517311 × FY2024 only. This cell is not a circuit inventory, a subscriber census, 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 eighty-one industry-extract awards describe 517311 across years, not a FY2024 subscriber census.
Reading the thick Wired Telecom Carriers parent file
9,081 is the Wired Telecommunications Carriers award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2024 instruments. Dividing $1,265,993,642.04 by 9,081 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. Nine thousand eighty-one industry-extract awards describe 517311 across years, not a FY2024 subscriber census. Later USAspending ingests can still restate FY2024 obligations without changing the join keys.
A thick parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 80.4% of $1,574,512,775.40 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,265,993,642.04 is that kind of sum for Wired Telecommunications Carriers in FY2024. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,265,993,642.04 as given.
Treat 9,081 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2024 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Do not invent carrier names or a circuit inventory. Recipients remain unpublished.

What this packet refuses to infer
Nine thousand eighty-one industry-extract awards describe 517311 across years, not a FY2024 subscriber census. Wired carriers are not wireless carriers except satellite (517312) and not telephone apparatus manufacturing (334210). Keep 517311. A reader who quotes 9,081 as unique companies in FY2024 has left the packet. A reader who treats 80.4% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/517311/ and /fiscal-years/2024/ if the live tables moved. Do not invent carrier names or a circuit inventory. Recipients remain unpublished.
Questions
- How much Wired Telecom Carriers spending is obligated in FY2024?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,265,993,642.04 in Wired Telecommunications Carriers (NAICS 517311) obligations for FY2024. That yearlyTrend amount is 80.4% of the industry's $1,574,512,775.40 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2024. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Is $1,265,993,642.04 the entire Wired Telecom Carriers USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 517311's extract-wide total is $1,574,512,775.40. FY2024 is 80.4% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/517311/ into this join. 9,081 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
- Is $1,265,993,642.04 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 $1,265,993,642.04 as checks already cleared in FY2024 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Why not divide $1,265,993,642.04 by 9,081 awards?
- Because 9,081 is the industry-extract award-record count across years, not a FY2024-only census. Mixing that denominator with a one-year dollar total invents a typical invoice the packet does not publish. Recipients remain unpublished. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 517311 in FY2024.
USAspending.gov NAICS yearlyTrend by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
