Cisco, Juniper(now HP), Huawei, Nokia, NTT, Hurricane Electric

Pretty much anyone who wants to sell you internet capable hardware ( like chassis routers or mobile base stations) or people wanting to sell you internet services.

Edit: forgot security companies to scare you into buying the latest SASE, SIEM, unified security product.

Cloudflare routes 20% of the world’s internet traffic. That’s a very large sample. They publish an annual radar report. https://radar.cloudflare.com/year-in-review/2025

Marketing companies

Companies that sell and host applications.

Online gaming companies.

Streaming media companies

Awareness of consumer behavior is of huge value to pretty much all companies.
