Fiber Rate Study 2004 Executive Summary Table of Contents Order Report
Telecom that Utilities Buy 2004 Recent downward trends have affected all segments of the economy, but the utility communications market has remained stable, and the potential exists for the market to rebound to a spending rate of $3.6 billion within the next year. This report will outline the technologies and services utilities plan to purchase through 2005. Survey respondents indicated that a budget allotment at least similar to 2003 spending for communications equipment and services was in place for 2004, and 75% indicated that a increase in spending was predicted. Over one third (33%) of those indicating an expanded telecom budget in 2004 expected the increase to exceed 30% over the next few years. Key Report Findings: * The overall market for utility communications equipment and services is expected to increase dramatically in 2004 and beyond. * Utilities spent $2.8 billion on telecommunications services and products in 2003. * Nearly 90% of utility's telecommunications spending is projected to occur in the areas of transport, LAN/WAN, Internal Voice Systems, leased lines and SCADA. * The most significant industry trend noted by utility members is migration to IP networks. This movement affects every aspect of communications networks, including digital microwave and WAN/LAN. Executive Summary Table of Contents Order Report
