View This Essential Database of Retail Ethernet Market/Customer Contract Prices

Posted on: Tuesday, 4 October 2005, 09:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c25106) has announced the addition of Australian Retail Ethernet Bandwidth Pricing Study to their offering.

The Author of this study maintains a database of retail Ethernet market/customer contract prices that contains accurate and up-to-date information, which allows us to publish off-the-shelf industry pricing reports as well as comparing client service pricing against the database for customized benchmarks.

The prices measured in this benchmark document are market-based prices, all of which are currently valid. The pricing in the Retail Ethernet pricing benchmark report is derived from a range of Australian carriers (13 included for this study).

In order to maintain the confidentiality of customer information, benchmark findings are expressed as:

-- Industry Low;

-- Industry Median;

-- Industry Average (arithmetic Mean of the sample values);

-- Industry Trim Mean (excluding the top and bottom 10% of industry samples); and

-- Industry High prices.

Although Ethernet interfaces are available in 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps, a wide variety of Ethernet bandwidth speeds are available in the market (typically through the provision of rate limiting mechanisms at the access port).

In this report we measure the following bandwidth levels for Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint (VLAN) CBD and CBD to Business Zone Ethernet connections:

-- 2 Mbps;

-- 4 Mbps;

-- 6 Mbps;

-- 8 Mbps;

-- 10 Mbps;

-- 20 Mbps;

-- 30 Mbps;

-- 40 Mbps;

-- 50 Mbps;

-- 100 Mbps;

-- 200 Mbps;

-- 300 Mbps;

-- 400 Mbps;

-- 500 Mbps;

-- 600 Mbps;

-- 800 Mbps; and

-- 1 Gbps.

To the fullest extent possible we have broken out pricing for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth in addition to providing aggregate CBD and CBD to Business Zone figures.

In addition to providing the range of industry prices expressed on a Per Annum cost basis, we provide an additional model in this report. The second model shows the annual retail price per 1 Mbps for each bandwidth increment (2 Mbps through 1 Gbps). This model shows the relative cost per 1 Mbps of bandwidth capacity sold in 2 Mbps through 1 Gbps increments.
