Canada - Telecommunications - Industry Revenues

Synopsis

Revenues generated by the Canadian telecommunications industry continue to rise steadily, despite harsh economic conditions. In 2003, around 75% of revenues were for fixed-line services, although wireless revenues continued to grow at a fast rate of 13.3%. Some 66% of revenues go to fixed-line incumbents, 6% to fixed-line competitors and the remaining 28% to wireless competitors. Whilst inroads have been made, the competitors’ failure to make faster inroads can be traced to the general industry downturn, the natural incumbent advantage of legacy infrastructure, and successful incumbent marketing strategies. About a third of revenues are for local and access services, which are strongly controlled by the incumbents.
