As you might know, I've been in the telecom industry for some decades
and I never heard of Erlang so far ;-)

I think, the languages used had been (=decades ago) company/group specific
(PROTEL => Bell/Northern Telecom, CHILL => ITT/Alcatel, Erlang => Ericsson)

Don't know what the current situation is (but I doubt that the are not
using mainstream languages c,java,c++,c#,delphi,visual *,perl,php now)

just my 0.02
