About This Report

At just over 120 pages and examining the period 2001-2005, NBI/Michael Sone Associates' Canadian Data Communications Services Market Report, 2003 Edition is the most comprehensive study published to date on the Data Communications market in Canada. This report is the culmination of dozens of interviews with industry participants over a period of several months. The report is buttressed by 49 Exhibits with extensive coverage of revenues, market shares and growth forecasts by company and service. It presupposes some telecom familiarity and attempts to ensure clarity by including definitions where necessary. Included within the report are marketing and technical information pertaining to the business of carrying data between customers' facilities.

Section 1 contains an Executive Summary that presents an overview of the entire Canadian Data Communications Services Market. Section 2 offers a detailed analysis of the industry, discussing technology & market trends and examines size, share and growth of major components including Frame Relay, ATM, X.25, Private Line, IP-VPN, LAN and Managed Services markets. Section 3 provides comprehensive profiles of 14 significant participants in the Canadian Datacom market and delves into the areas of product development, competitive positioning, marketing and sales strategy, technology and future plans. Each profile includes revenue quantification segmented by service.

A major challenge in compiling this report was ensuring that the definition used for data revenues remained consistent across all of the companies profiled, most of which have varying service mixes included as part of their reported data revenues. To the extent possible, estimates of company revenues include those from commercial data communications services used to provide connectivity between sites as well as revenues from management of those services and the networks over which they are provided. The report does not include revenues from consumer services, Internet access or the sale/rental of data communications equipment.
