Worldwide revenue for Business Ethernet Services is projected to climb to $30.7 billion by 2012, according to Vertical Systems Group's latest market analysis.  Business Ethernet services are purchased by enterprise customers to support their metro, regional, nationwide or global network applications, at up to Gigabit access rates.  Applications include DIA (Dedicated Internet Access), Ethernet access to other network services (e.g., IP/MPLS VPNs, Frame Relay, etc.), Ethernet Private Lines and Ethernet LAN/VPLS services.

"Hundreds of service providers worldwide are committed to Ethernet as the future ubiquitous standard for network service connectivity, and Ethernet equipment vendors are actively enabling this important transition," said Rick Malone, Principal at Vertical Systems Group.  "Based on our research, enterprise customer demand for Ethernet services is robust, providing new revenue opportunities across all geographic regions (U.S., Asia/Pac, EMEA, ROW) during the next five years."
