Everything from email to newsgroups to Web Services, including DNS and anything else one can think of.

Yeah, I mean, UNIX is a child of the telecom industry, so it's right at home.

I do think there are more UNIX to GNU/Linux migrations happening every day, though. :)

Thanks guys for all your responces, more responces are welcome.

As for current GNU/Linux use specifically, you might wanna start by Googling about the Carrier Grade Linux specifications. You should be able to find some news articles or statistical data related to telecom industry migrations from UNIX to GNU/Linux. The homepage is here.
