Vertical Systems Group:
Who's Delivering
Carrier Ethernet to U.S. Business Customers?
BOSTON
(May 20, 2008) - More than eighty service
providers are delivering retail Carrier Ethernet services to business
customers in the U.S. Services range from Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)
to Ethernet Private Lines to VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service).
According to Vertical Systems Group's research, Large Enterprise and
SMB (small and medium business) customers are purchasing Ethernet
services supplied by three distinct types of providers: Incumbent
Carriers, Competitive Providers and Cable MSOs. Target market
strategies, geographic network scope, the range of Ethernet services
offered, and pricing are the key differentiators among the three
provider segments.
Incumbents, including market leaders AT&T
and Verizon, deliver nearly half (46%) of all business customer
Ethernet ports installed in the U.S. Another one-third of the
total (34%) is supplied by Competitive providers, with Time Warner
Telecom and Cogent topping this segment. Cable MSOs have the
smallest base overall (20%), however this is the fastest growing
segment of the U.S. Business Ethernet services market based on ports.
Cox and Time Warner Cable currently lead in the Cable MSO segment.
Detailed statistics and analysis by segment are available now
