The Telecommunications Market Today

 
This report will attempt to answer these questions, in the broader context of the overall competitive environment of U.S. telephony today. In addition to the “super-competitors,” we feel that the following are the major issues in today’s competitive structure in telecommunications:
  • Telcos become wireless, rather than wireline companies;
  • The Advanced Access Architecture deployments being undertaken by the major RBOCs and many smaller telcos;
  • Overbuilding by major telcos;
  • The emergence of the “super-competitors.”
This report will address each of these areas and provide forecasts as to our expectations for each. Because of the overriding importance of the state of the U.S. (and world) economy, we will begin with a review of our forecasts for the nation’s economy as well as its impact on telephony. That portion of the report will also provide our forecast for capital spending over the next five years. The report will then continue with a review of the current telecom market structure; with that background, we will then address each of the above-listed issues.
