For over a decade the wholesale market has experienced highs and lows, including the market crash of 2000 which put some wholesalers out of business and led to unstable pricing. 2005-2006 saw consolidation occur in the industry, which partly led to stabilisation of the market. Wholesale price capacity seems to have steadied and the growing Internet economy will ensure that the increased demand for wholesale IP bandwidth will continue. This report provides an introduction to the wholesale market and includes key industry trends, developments and statistics.
