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.
