(Telecompaper) It has been quiet so far on the telecoms front in 2020. A number of companies turned to the debt markets, but not much else happened. We use the opportunity to take a closer look back at 2019. It has generally been a terrific year for equity investors, with the S&P 500 index up 24.8 percent for the year.

However, for infrastructure operators 2019 was a year of rerating.
