Infonetics Research Predicts $936 Million Growth in
Network Equipment Expenditures by CLEC ISPs in 2000;
Growth Fueled by Aggressive DSL Service Deployments
[Is this estimate high, low or right on the money? What do you think?]
July 16, 1998
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge
Corporation -- Infonetics Research, Inc. today
announced the release of their latest strategic market
study, The CLEC and Cable Operator ISP Opportunity
1998.
This study includes two segments of the five-part
service The ISP Opportunity Annual Service 1998, which
covers Local/Regional, CLEC, Cable Operator, National,
and Telco ISPs.
Since the passing of the Telecommunications Act of
1996, competition on the service provider front has
become fierce. The incumbent local exchange carriers
(ILECs) that once monopolized the local loop are now
mandated to partner and in essence compete with the
growing ranks of CLECs (competitive local exchange
carrier).
The small but expanding number of registered CLECs are
adapting to customer's requests and rapidly growing
their customer base. CLECs are one of the fastest
growing ISP segments, and the growth potential is
tremendous.
The CLEC and Cable Operator ISP Opportunity 1998
delves headlong into the diverse, evolving CLEC ISP
and Cable Operator ISP universe. Key findings of the
network infrastructure, services offered, future growth
plans, and purchase criteria are presented.
The study also provides an in-depth look at the
broad-range of services being offered including Internet,
non-Internet data connections, voice services, network
integration and management, and VPN services. "CLECs
are aggressively deploying DSL services," said Greg
Howard, Director of Service Provider Programs at
Infonetics Research.
"Of the twenty facilities-based CLECs that we
interviewed, ninety percent are rolling out DSL, with
most of the deployment happening this year."
"We are going to see a significant spike in the demand
for networking hardware," said Greg. "We are seeing
major growth in the WAN, customer access, CPE, and
network management segments."
The CLEC and Cable Operator ISP Opportunity 1998,
comprises over 200 pages and 85 exhibits. For
