Capacity Shortage Looming

The unrelenting growth in Internet traffic in 2007

may overwhelm the Internet's backbone; the

terabitcable

pipes connecting continents will reach

capacity and ISPs will not be prepared to pay for

extra bandwidth because consumers will be

unwilling to pay increased costs.

The growth in demand for video delivered over the

Internet in particular… as well as IPTV, will be a

major contributor to excess capacity being

absorbed.

CLEC Recovery

“The CLEC industry itself has emerged from a

severe downturn in the early 2000s as high

leverage and large capital requirements drove

several players into bankruptcy. CLECs…have

been successful in the small business market

through tailored services and a focused sales

force. They are also benefiting from an improved

competitive environment as AT&T and Verizon

integrate their acquisitions and focus on medium

sized and large enterprise accounts.”
