Thread Index RE: Tier one market share
In response to your inquiry Joel Sam WorldCom (UUnet/Digex/Skytel) Direct: (703)341-6486 Cell: (202)359-2946 joel.sam@... visit us http://www.wcom.com Today's focus: The ISP top dogs By Denise Pappalardo If you've either slowed down efforts to upgrade your IP service or put projects off all together you're not alone. According to a recent report by Probe Research, business users will spend $6.1 billion this year on Internet access services, but growth in the ISP services industry will slow down. Probe believes this is due to the slowing economy. Last year users spent $5.3 billion on IP services, which was 30% more than the previous year, but growth in 2001 is expected to increase by only 15% over 2000. But the research firm predicts the market will bounce back and that by 2006 users will be spending about $13 billion on IP services. Driving the on-going growth will be midsize and large businesses adopting storage-area networks, content distribution services and real-time video conferencing technologies, as well as the continued proliferation of e-mail and FTP traffic, says Hillary Mine, executive vice president at Probe. The report also named WorldCom as leading in ISP market share, primarily due to its UUNET ISP division. UUNET has been the leading ISP in terms of revenue derived from business users for several years running. Probe breaks down ISP market share based on year-end 2000 revenue. Here are the top 10 ISPs and their market shares: 1. WorldCom 27.9% 2. AT&T 10% 3. Sprint 6.5% 4. Genuity 6.3% 5. PSINet 4.1% 6. Cable & Wireless 3.5% 7. XO Communications 2.8% 8. Verio 2.6% 9. Qwest 1.5% 10. Global Crossing 1.3% With the eminent fall of PSINet still looming it's expected that some of its market share will be distributed among Genuity, Cable & Wireless and XO Communications. All three have a history with small, midsize and large customers. Users that fall in the small and midsize range historically choose companies that are more sympathetic to their needs. The general idea is if AT&T got calls from Ford and Joe's department store guess who they'll call back first. -----Original Message----- From: jhinkle [mailto:jhinkle@...] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 8:59 AM To: isp-bandwidth@isp-bandwidth.com Subject: Tier one market share Does anybody have the latest stats on Tier one ISP market share?
