Insight Researchs market analysis study, Private Line & Wavelength Services 2004-2009, found that private line industry revenue will be down about four percent in 2004. The study also notes that new technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) hold the promise to further reshape the local private line market, while sales of wavelength services have the potential to radically alter the cost-per-megabit of transport at the upper boundary of the private line market.
The private line market had a rough ride over the past two years. Even with demand increasing, it seems as though price-cutting has become the norm in all segments of the industry, says Robert Rosenberg, Insight Research president. Price discounting used to show up only as a significant factor in the wholesale segment private lines (when carriers sold to other carriers)now it seems as though those price cuts are impacting sales of retail circuits as well, Rosenberg concluded.
Private Line & Wavelength Services 2004-2009 examines spending for local and long distance private line circuits, by type of carrier and for wholesale and retail segments. Circuit counts by circuit speed are also presented.
