• Canada - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts

  By the end of 2008 Canada had slipped another place on the OECD broadband penetration rankings. Although the current ranking of 10th is down from second place in 2002, broadband deployment continues to progress under active government encouragement, with over 95% of Canadians living in communities served by broadband access. Rapidly increasing demand for cable VoIP is in turn fuelling demand for cable broadband. Cable still leads DSL in terms of subscriber numbers whilst fibre deployments are starting to gain momentum. In contrast, despite the large number of WiMAX spectrum licences in the market, WiMAX developments are still largely a niche market. This report contains statistics, analysis and forecasts on the Canadian broadband sector.

• Canada - Convergence - Triple Play & Digital TV

  Canadian TV and video markets are experiencing significant changes, characterised by convergence with digital media, broadband and telecommunications services. Cable TV operators and telcos, and to a lesser extent satellite companies, are increasingly competing for the triple play consumer. The slow but steady transition from analogue to digital TV is increasing the use of new products and services such as VoD and High Definition services. Rising broadband penetration continues to drive the triple play market, with around 75% of all Canadian households subscribing to broadband by early 2009. Broadband penetration is also fostering the emergence of IPTV and is driving the migration from traditional circuit-switched telephone lines to VoIP telephony. This report provides analysis and statistics of the Canadian digital TV industry in the context of this emerging triple play market.

• Canada - Infrastructure - FttH, NGNs & IP

  Canada’s national telecom infrastructure is predominantly based on a copper-wire circuit switched network. Since the mid-1990s Canada’s telecom infrastructure has been undergoing significant modernisation driven largely by the demand for cable television and broadband services and the development of new technologies such as satellite and IP networks. In particular, the growing demand for converged voice, data and TV services is driving the deployment of Next Generation Networks in the form of IP-based networks. Although many of these developments have been led by the cable companies, the ongoing decline in traditional fixed line revenues is compelling the incumbent telcos to consider modernising their network infrastructure, by deploying optical fibre deeper into the network. Nevertheless, there remains significant scope for increasing the rate and extent of NGN deployment.

• Canada - Major Telcos - Overview & Statistics

  The major operators in the Canadian telecommunications are broadly categorised as either incumbents or competitors. Incumbents are the telephone companies that provided telecom services on a regional monopoly basis prior to the introduction of competition, and include the out-of-territory affiliates of the incumbents. There are a number of categories of competitors, with most of the recent competition coming from the cable sector in the form of rapidly expanding cable telephony and VoIP services. This report provides highlights of the sector and outlines the major activities of some the largest incumbents (Bell, TELUS, MTS Allstream and SaskTel) and CLECs (Rogers, Primus and Look) together with their recent key financial data and operating statistics.

• Canada - Telecoms, Wireless & Broadband - Key Statistics, Overview & Analysis 2008-2009

  The convergence of voice, Internet and TV continues to bring Canadian telecommunication and broadcasting operators together as direct competitors in the emerging triple play market. However, though the cable companies have made strong inroads into telephony, by early 2009 the telco deployments of IPTV were still in their infancy. Broadband and wireless revenues continue to underpin industry-wide revenue growth. Key revenue drivers include the growth in data and content services while broadband revenues are being driven by subscriber numbers and price increases. Nevertheless, wireless penetration remains among the lowest in the OECD. Similarly, although Canada had the second highest OECD broadband penetration in 2001, by 2008 it had fallen to tenth place. This report provides key statistical data on the major telecommunications segments together with an overview of each major sector.

• Canada - Wireless Communications - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts

  Synopsis

  The Canadian wireless industry witnessed subscriber growth of around 8% per annum during 2008, and a further 5% per annum in the first half of 2009, although penetration levels still remain low by OECD standards. Industry revenues are being driven by growth in subscriber numbers, roaming revenues and the increasing use of data services such as SMS and MMS messaging. However, costs are also increasing due to network and technology upgrades and aggressive handset subsidies. In most regions the market is dominated one of three operators: Bell Mobility, Rogers Wireless and TELUS Mobility. However, following the AWS auction in mid-2008, in which 40% of available spectrum licences were reserved for new entrants, Canadians should be able to look forward to increased wireless competition in each province and territory. Additionally, a significant development during 2009/10 will be the upgrade by both Bell and TELUS to a GSM network, in anticipation of their move towards LTE as a 4G platform. The upgrade will facilitate easier roaming, greater choice of handsets and decreased switching costs for customers changing providers.
