As a newcomer to the Ethernet service
market, it would stand to reason that Time Warner would be
scrambling to gain market share in a somewhat saturated industry.
The company is in effect making rapid gains, while Qwest
Communication seems to be falling behind. These evaluations are the
result of new data from Vertical Systems Group.
The analysis group
released market share data for the U.S. retail business Ethernet
services sector at the end of 2007. This release is an update from
the same information released six months earlier....
"Enterprise demand for Ethernet services spiked at the end of 2007,
boosted by broader service availability, plus heightened competition
from more MSOs, regional, and global providers," said Rick Malone,
Principal at Vertical Systems Group, in a statement.
"Latest port share results show that while incumbent carriers hold a
sizeable slice of the market now, MSOs and competitive providers are
targeting diverse segments of this ripe and rapidly growing market.
As a result, major share shifts by provider, as well as by provider
segment, are expected during the first half of 2008."
