Renesys Corporation Measures Impact of North American ISP Consolidation Using Market Intelligence Solution
Posted on: Wednesday, 23 August 2006, 09:00 CDT
Renesys Corporation, a leading provider of next-generation Internet Routing and Market Intelligence solutions, today released the third in a series of reports comparing carriers worldwide. The latest Customer Base Index report examines the pivotal role that recent consolidation activity has played in reshaping the North American Internet service provider market.
Specifically, Renesys tracked two recent developments: Level 3 Communications Inc. losing Verizon Internet Services as a customer due to their purchase of MCI, and Sprint Nextel Corp. losing SBC as a customer due to its integration with AT&T. The effects of these events are measured by the Renesys Internet Index.
The Renesys Internet Index tracks observed trends in Internet structure, using information from the global routing tables to determine which network service providers are most critically important for reaching customer networks in each of the geographic markets that make up the global Internet. The Renesys Customer Base Index objectively measures the number and size of networks observed to be reachable on any given day via each provider's transit services, in each of three categories: Retail, Wholesale, and Backbone transit.
The following are the top 10 service providers in each category for the month leading up to July 26,2006:
