Four years ago, the U.S. wholesale telecom market was a wasteland, plagued by empty networks, plummeting prices, and grim prospects. In the intervening years, growing broadband penetration and new high-bandwidth applications have begun to exhaust the excess inventory of long-haul network capacity. Today, a wave of consolidation is sweeping the industry and wholesale prices are showing increased signs of stability.
But how fast is traffic growing? Might prices actually increase? How sustainable is this upturn? While anecdotal stories about market trends abound, business and investment decisions require real data. In response, TeleGeography is releasing U.S. Networks Research Service, which takes an in-depth look at network demand drivers, wholesale bandwidth and IP transit pricing trends, and cost structure considerations.Understanding the dynamics of the wholesale telecom market lends insight into the fortunes of the entire industry; this market underlies the fundamental business case for service providers and vendors throughout the supply chain. U.S. Networks Research Service informs profit models and helps industry executives and investors identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that yield intelligent business and investment decisions.
Network Analysis

Network Cost Structure
Until recently, the large surplus of lit capacity meant that operators needed to invest minimal capital into network upgrades. Instead, ongoing operating costs dictated cost and pricing structures. However, networks are filling up and new investment in capacity is needed, altering the cost structure of the networks business. U.S. Networks Research Service examines networks’ cost structure and helps to answer such questions as:
- What does it take to build and upgrade a network?
- What is the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) overhead of a U.S. network?
- What upgrade technologies are being used and why?
