United States IT Companies
Approximately 644,846 real businesses classified under Information and Communication in United States, with officer, shareholder and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Approximately 644,846 real businesses operate in the Information and Communication sector across United States. Software and telecom companies are the sector most likely to have four holding-company layers before you reach a real person — and it is rarely for tax reasons alone. Staged venture-capital and private-equity investment rounds, plus standard tax-efficient group structuring, both push ownership chains further here than in almost any other sector. The sector covers software publishing, IT services, telecom network operation, broadcasting, and publishing, and beneficial-ownership resolution is disproportionately relevant precisely because of that depth.
410 companies in this sector are indexed on Zavia so far, part of a continually growing dataset.
Beneficial-ownership and registration rules for Information and Communication companies in United States follow the same national framework as every other sector there.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Telecommunications regulation in the United States runs through the FCC, which handles broadcast licensing, spectrum allocation, and common-carrier telecom oversight, but does not function as a general internet-content regulator — a comparatively light-touch approach relative to many other jurisdictions covered in this directory. This light-touch trend deepened further in a genuinely current 2025 development: on January 2, 2025, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the FCC’s net-neutrality rules, citing the Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision eliminating Chevron deference to federal agencies. Broadband is consequently now classified as a lightly-regulated Title I "information service" rather than a heavily-regulated Title II "telecommunications service," leaving the FCC with no direct role regulating home or mobile broadband as of 2026 absent new congressional action.
35,067 private-sector telecom establishments were recorded as of Q4 2025, alongside roughly 54 government-operated ones (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages). Counterparties verify a telecom counterparty’s actual current FCC licensing status where a licensed activity (e.g. broadcast spectrum use) is involved, and should not assume broad federal content or service-quality oversight given the sector’s recent deregulatory trajectory.
Who uses United States information and communication ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
FCC Light-Touch Regulation Awareness
The FCC regulates broadcast licensing, spectrum allocation, and common-carrier telecom but is not a general internet-content regulator; on January 2, 2025 the Sixth Circuit vacated the FCC’s net-neutrality rules, leaving broadband classified as a lightly-regulated Title I service with no direct FCC role over home/mobile broadband as of 2026 absent new legislation.
Telecom Establishment-Count Verification
35,067 private-sector telecom establishments were recorded as of Q4 2025 (BLS QCEW), plus ~54 government-operated ones; counterparties verify a telecom counterparty’s actual current FCC licensing status where applicable, given the sector’s recent deregulatory shift.
