Description:

Over the past 12 years, US consumers and enterprises have enjoyed decreasing prices on landline services. The decline in prices during the late 1990s was precipitous, but the rate of decline has moderated considerably in the middle of this decade. Many companies' telecom budgets have changed very little in recent years, but demand for greater bandwidth and connectivity continues almost unabated. What should enterprises expect regarding prices for landline voice and data services in the years ahead? What should they do to ensure favorable prices in light of the current competitive landscape and the spectre of possible recession?

Agenda:

• Interstate and intrastate voice services price outlook
• Legacy data services price outlook
• Price outlook on MPLS, Ethernet, and managed data services
• Findings and recommendations

Vendors mentioned: AT&T, Qwest, Sprint, and Verizon Business.
