More than 80 service providers are delivering retail carrier Ethernet services to business customers in the United States, say analysts at Vertical Systems Group.
Services range from Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) to Ethernet Private Lines to VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service).
Incumbents, including market leaders AT&T and Verizon, deliver nearly half (46%) of all business customer Ethernet ports installed in the U.S.
Another one third of the total (34%) is supplied by competitive providers, with Time Warner Telecom and Cogent topping this segment.
Cable MSOs have the smallest base overall (20%), however this is the fastest growing segment of the U.S. Business Ethernet services market based on ports.
Cox and Time Warner Cable currently lead in the Cable MSO segment.
