This Excel-based Data-rich Deliverable (DRD) that is part of the Business IP and SMB Business subscriptions includes market intelligence on business expenditures on Fractional T1 services by size of business. Compass Intelligence defines Business IP as services used to carry and/or connect to the Internet. This category include Full and Fractional T1 and T3 connections, broadband services, dial-up Internet access, OC-X services and both TDM and VoIP-based Integrated Access. Compass Intelligence defines Fractional T1 services as services providing one or more channels of a T-1 service. A complete T-1 carrier contains 24 channels, each of which provides 64 Kbps. Most phone companies, however, also sell fractional T-1 lines, which provide less bandwidth but are also less expensive. Typically, fractional T-1 lines are sold in increments of 56 Kbps (the extra 8 Kbps per channel is used for data management). Size of business includes Small & Mid-Sized Business. The Expert Guide for this deliverable is Kneko Burney. Forecasts are from 2008 through 2013 and include annual growth rate, as well as percentage of total market.
