Telco / Digital Infra Primers

Generally looked at Energy / Energy Transition Infrastructure in career so far, but potentially looking at more Telcoms/Fibre/ Towers and wider digital infra due to career switch. Has anyone got any good primers/ resources, on business models / valuation / modelling / regulations for the above sub-sectors? A UK/European focus if possible, but happy with anything. Thanks
