Overview of Plunkett's Telecommunications Industry coverage

Mergers, consolidation and financial restructuring have completely changed the landscape. Globalization is heating up competition. Deregulation and privatization will have a continual effect on the telecom sector worldwide, and rapid advances in telecom technology, including WiFi and VOIP will continue unabated.

No other industry touches as many technology-related business sectors as telecommunications, which by definition encompasses not only the traditional areas of local and long-distance telephone services, but also advanced technology-based services including wireless communications, the Internet, fiber optics and satellites. Telecom is also deeply intertwined with cable TV systems, since cable companies are now aggressively offering local exchange service and Internet service. The relationship between the telecom and cable sectors has become even more complex as telcos are now selling TV via IP (Internet protocol) services, competing directly against cable for consumers' entertainment dollars.

The major phone companies are adapting to today’s environment which includes a flat market for local landlines, continued growth in cellular subscribers, and rapid adoption of broadband access to the Internet by homes and businesses. Much of their strategy for the future is based on bundling of multiple services. Meanwhile, traditional telecommunications providers face rapidly growing competition from VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) and voice over cable.

Many services companies are taking advantage of existing fiber optics systems to create new products and service offerings. Fiber to the home and fiber to the business are becoming realities. In particular, Verizon has launched very aggressive, long term fiber to the premises projects.

In this exciting reference tool, we take a broad look at the business of telecommunications. This carefully-researched data is a complete telecommunications market research and business intelligence tool-- everything you need to know about the business of ILECs, CLECs, Baby Bells, long distance, local, VOIP, and cellular including Market Research, competitive intelligence and business analysis of telecommunications sectors

  3. Long distance
  4. Cellular telephone services, wireless trends and wireless access including Wi-Fi and WiMax.

  7. Telecommunications equipment, switches, fiber optics and satellites.
  8. Internet access service and broadband access trends, including advanced DSL services and providers.
  9. Fiber to the home (FTTH) and fiber to the business (FTTB).
  10. Global telecommunications, landline and cellular statistics and trends.
