About This Report

 

At 100 pages, this is NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ seventh report on the Canadian Local Telecom Services Market. The extensive primary research that is the hallmark of all NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ reports was carried out over the past several months as the Local Services Market has undergone many changes. Information, both quantitative and qualitative, was analyzed and organized so as to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of the background, current state and probable future of the local services sector. The final product, Canadian Local Telecom and VoIP Services Market Report, 2006 Edition, is the most detailed research report available on this industry.

The local services market will experience a myriad of developments over the coming months that NBI/Michael Sone Associates will continue to track.

Following an introduction and definition of Local and VoIP services and participant sectors in Sections 1 and 2, NBI/Michael Sone Associates provides detailed quantitative data in Section 3 that measures the size of the market, the growth for incumbents and new entrants in both the business and residential sectors over a six-year period (2004 to 2009), and forecasts the share of the market by lines and revenues to be held by the various participants. Included as well are forecasts for the VoIP market, segmented by industry sector (ILEC, cableco, etc.) and by business versus consumer. (It should be noted that all reference to “lines” within the report refers to wireline local access lines unless explicitly stated otherwise.)

Section 4 discusses the regulatory issues germane to the industry while Section 5 looks at the prospects for competition trends within various industry segments, with a focus on how VoIP on the one hand and industry consolidation on the other are changing the competitive paradigm.

Section 6 presents the all-important 15 Corporate Profiles that provide a wealth of qualitative and quantitative information about the companies that are already participants in the local services market as well as those who are at various stages of planning their entry. Subjects covered include marketing strategy, product development, competitive positioning, bundles, pricing and impacts of regulatory developments.

The report is supported by 21 comprehensive Exhibits that examine line counts, revenues, business and residential analysis, bundling, and provincial and city-specific data.
