About This Report

 

Published since the early-1990s, the Canadian Long Distance IXC/Resale Market Report has been one of NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ most popular and referenced reports. The 2006 Edition is the tenth instalment in the series.

As with the previous edition, this version contains succinct and focussed discussions of market segmentation, details on specific service sectors, traffic patterns, market share, service provider tactics and the downward spiral NBI/Michael Sone Associates believes will continue in the market in light of an increasing array of communications alternatives (e-mail, wireless, VoIP) to traditional long distance service.

We have also provided quantitative information in a series of 10 charts. The list of Exhibits includes a four-year market share presentation (incumbents versus entrants) for each of the consumer and commercial sectors. There are also charts illustrating in more detailed fashion the share for the most recent and upcoming years with the consumer and business sectors – individually, as well as a five-year segmentation within the latter by product category of outbound, inbound and card services. In addition, we re-visit and forecast the entire market for total revenues and minutes of traffic over a seven-year period. Finally, we have also provided traffic pattern information broken down by major destination (domestic, U.S. and overseas) for each major carrier.

Of course, in the tradition of all NBI/Michael Sone Associates reports, we have also provided detailed quantitative and qualitative profiles of eight Service Providers. These profiles discuss segmentation of revenues by service, marketing and sales activities, product positioning and expected future initiatives.
