This is NBI/Michael Sone Associates' twelfth 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, 2011 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 (2008 to 2013),
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 looks at some the current trends within the market among various industry
segments.
Section 5 presents the all-important Corporate Profiles (13 in total) that provide a wealth
of qualitative and quantitative information including marketing strategy, product
development, competitive positioning, bundles, pricing and impacts of regulatory
developments.
The report is supported by 39 comprehensive Exhibits that examine line and subscriber
counts, revenues, business and residential analysis, bundling, and provincial and cityspecific
data.
