Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
In the US, about 5,000 companies provide wired telecommunication services, with total annual revenue over $200 billion. Large companies include AT&T, Verizon, and Qwest. The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies hold 90 percent of the market.
The industry includes local service carriers (annual revenues about $130 billion); long-distance carriers (about $70 billion); pay phone operators; pre-paid card providers; and telecommunication resellers.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand is driven by new services and growth in business activity. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and effective marketing. Large companies have economies of scale in providing a highly automated service to large numbers of customers, and the financial resources required to build and maintain a large network. Smaller companies can compete effectively in small markets or by providing specialty services. Because of the large degree of automation, average revenue per employee is about $200,000.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Major services are local calling, network access services, long-distance calling, calling features such as caller ID and voice mail, and broadband services. Local calling accounts for about 40 percent of industry revenue, network access 25 percent, long distance 20 percent, calling features and Internet connectivity less than 10 percent each. Other services include data transmission, private networks, installation, and equipment sales. Network access charges are levied against other carriers, mainly long-distance and wireless service providers, that need access to local wired phone systems.
