Poll Results: ICT Workers Self-Reliant for Tariff Info

April 18, 2025
More ICT industry pros do their own research on tariffs than turn to any other single source.

Early results from a poll currently running on the cablinginstall website indicate workers in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry rely on themselves, their own knowledge, and their own research more than other information sources when it comes to tariffs.

The poll, which is still active, asks: “What is your most trusted source of information on how tariffs will impact the prices of cabling and ICT products?” Respondents can choose from the following options: My Distributor, My Manufacturer’s Rep, My Own Knowledge and Research, News/Media Outlets, Product Manufacturers. Results as of Friday, April 18 are shown below.

We will keep this poll open through Friday, April 25 and report final results after that time. If you have not yet taken the poll you can do so through the 25th.
