Category policies
Category:Telecommunications is the top category for articles under this WikiProject. It is a subcategory of Category:Communication, which should mainly deal with social science issues.

The Category:OSI protocols should be used as a map for categories to as large extent as possible.

The Category:Wireless is for anything pertaining to the use of radio waves in telecommunications, except broadcasting, which is covered in Category:Radio.
