-Telecoms? T is gone of course, so not sure if there are many options here? BCE from Canada still gives you 5.60%.
Take a look at ORAN. Yes, it is French, yes, you have to mess with taxes. But, the dividend is solid and the company is very safe, IMO.
Interesting pick. The dividend fluctuates a bit but looks to be high and pretty well covered most of the time. And a pro-tip for the taxes, since it only pays it's dividend semi-annually you can probably just sell right before the ex-date and buy it back the next day cheaper, so you skip the dodgy french withholding taxes.
Personally I want to see a bit more growth. I just dropped BCE today because lets face it, it hasn't gone anywhere in years and the dividend increases are way too small. Telecoms feel like a very dangerous business with record prices in all those frequency auctions coupled with cheaper and cheaper connections for the customers.
