About This Report

 

The Canadian Wi-Fi/WiMAX Market Report, 2005 Edition is NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ first report on this emerging Internet market segment and is the most comprehensive and rigorously researched document available on the subject in Canada.

At around 40 pages, the report is as much intended to provide an insight on this sector’s future developments as past activity and current status. It is divided into two main sections. The first provides an overview of the Canadian market punctuated with two figures illustrating current and potential subscriber and revenue growth trends in the industry. This is followed by a tutorial that discusses major issues, developments and technology pertinent to the industry including the relationships Wi-Fi and WiMAX have with cellular wireless, cable, and DSL technologies. The second section provides highly-detailed profiles of a dozen significant national and regional service providers. These include the individual telcos, cablecos, as well as a representative sample of the larger independent, fixed wireless companies. Each industry segment has been explored so that the report presents services offered and planned, marketing activities, pricing, as well as technology and application trends.

Please note that the mobile and fixed Internet markets are examined and discussed in depth in NBI/Michael Sone Associates’ Canadian Mobile Wireless Communications Services Market Report, 2004 Edition and upcoming 2005 Edition and Canadian Internet Service Providers Market Report, 2005 Edition respectively. Please refer to these publications for information on these market sectors.
