Here is a rough idea for new categorization. These are not intended to be complete lists of subcategories, and names can be improved. I found "telecommunications engineering" and "data communications" problematic under this categorization. I copied existing category names (these categories are easily moved) and made up some new names too. Most of the leaf nodes are brainstormed examples and may need subcategories.

Communication
 * Mass media
 * 1) Videos and DVDs
 * 2) Film and video technology
 * 3) Television
 * Digital media
 * Telecommunications
 * 1) Broadcasting (this has mostly nontech articles currently, so I moved this here)
 * 2) Telecommunication conferences (?)
 * 3) Telecommunication services
 * 4) Telecommunications economics
 * 5) Telecommunications history
 * 6) Telecommunications law
 * 7) Telecommunications organizations
 * 8) Telecommunications stubs
 * 9) Telecommunications companies
 * 10) Telecommunications by country
 * 11) Privacy of telecommunications (this has mostly nontech articles currently, so I moved this here)
 * 12) Military communications (this has mostly nontech articles currently, so I moved this here)
 * 13) Computer and telecommunication standards (?)
 * 14) Applications of Telecommunications (->new, maybe fits under tech too, depending on the contents?)
 * 15) Radiometry
 * 16) Telecommuting (not telecom)
