US Business Spending on Wireline Data Declining in Recession; All Categories Except IP VPN and Ethernet Services Fall, Reports In-Stat
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Across nearly every category of wireline data services, spending by US businesses is falling in 2009, reports market research firm In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). Overall, In-Stat expects a nearly 2% decline in US business spending on wireline data services, which represents the first time this market has declined in the 10 plus years In-Stat has been tracking it.
Wireline data services include expenditures on wide area network (WAN) data transport services, as well as dedicated Internet access (which includes cable and DSL), network-based IP VPN, private line, frame relay, ATM, and Ethernet services. The category does not include managed services, such as hosted IP telephony, LAN infrastructure, security, and other managed solutions, which are tracked separately by In-Stat.
“Ethernet Services and IP VPN services are among the lone bright spots in the market,” says David Lemelin, In-Stat analyst. “Spending on ATM, Frame Relay and Private Line services is particularly weak, declining about nearly 10% from 2008. Among the vertical business markets, the professional services and healthcare segments are faring best, but even these are only flat year to year.”
