subject: Cable Operators, Telecom, And Business Services [print this page] Cable TV Operators, Telecom Services, and the Push into the Enterprise, 2010-2015
This report will be essential reading for a wide range of providers offering telecom services to the enterprise and small business. Commercial telecom services have traditionally been the exclusive province of telcos, but that is changing. While the large cable MSOs HFC networks pass over 80 percent of businesses in the US, the CableCos share of the commercial services market is less than two percent. The opportunity appears obvious and, indeed, every major cable operator is targeting commercial services as their top growth priority over the next five years.

This report examines how MSOs are leveraging their existing networksbuilt primarily to transport broadcast video servicesto support commercial telecommunications services for the enterprise and small business. We survey a representative number of MSOs, telcos, and enterprise customers, and tell how the various carriers are addressing the needs of the enterprise and small business customer. We provide forecasts of spending for hardware and network services to provide various types commercial services, and on the enterprise side we forecast how fiber optics, wireless access, and digital transmission is augmenting demand for such services.
Cable Operators, Telecom, and Business Services
US cable television multiple system operators (MSO) have a 60 year history providing services to residential customers, but their experience providing services to commercial enterprises dates back only about 15 yearsand in the $340 billion per year US telecommunications industry, the MSOs thus far have missed out on the biggest slice of the telecom pie.
The cable TV industry now appears poised to address the telecommunications needs of businesses of all sizes, and is read to jump with both feet into providing new services to businesses regardless of their size. The benefits for MSOs shifting to commercial services include:
* Offsetting low growth in residential market
* Business segment growing 10-20 percent annually
* Higher-margin services
* Opportunity to compete with traditional carriers
* New services (mobile backhaul, WiFi (wireless fidelity), Ethernet) fit well within existing HFC (hybrid fiber coax) network architecture
