The U.S. wholesale transport market has a reputation for cut-throat pricing coupled with high customer expectations for network performance. Ethernet services – whether using virtual circuits over MPLS and/or via VPLS, riding over SONET/SDH circuits, or running directly over dedicated wavelengths – manage to squeeze greater efficiency out of networks. Those margins are going straight back into pushing down prices further along the most competitive U.S. domestic long-haul, and U.S.-international routes.

Through February 2011, Current Analysis conducted interviews with major carriers doing business in the U.S. and internationally, to find out more about their Ethernet wholesale services positioning – products, marketing, and views on where the market’s current state and its trajectory.
