The shortened term "telecoms equipment" with one "m" and no "s" is not used in the United States. The shortened term in en_us is "telecomm equipment" two "m"s. A Google search for the three terms shows that the Google index prefers "telecomm equipment" over "telecoms equipment" 5 to 1. The term "telecomms", with two "m"s is used in the US to shorten "telecommunications" by itself but never with equipment. Mrdvt92 (talk) 11:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
