U.S. Long-Haul Wholesale Product Price Competitiveness Increases in 2012, According to New ATLANTIC-ACM Carrier Report Card
BOSTON, May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategy consultancy ATLANTIC-ACM announced today the general availability of the 2012 edition of its U.S. Long Haul Wholesale Report Card. Based on more than 1,200 individual carrier evaluations, this year's study compiles trends, drivers and conclusions about the domestic long haul wholesale landscape to deliver a thorough picture of market leaders and factors shaping the industry.
"Long-haul wholesale products logged accelerated increases in customer satisfaction with price competitiveness in both voice and data products," said Dr. Judy Reed Smith, CEO of ATLANTIC-ACM. "Interestingly, these gains in price satisfaction occurred against the backdrop of price losing its position as the chief driver of purchase for the first time in the 17-year history of the study. Wholesalers corroborated these findings with anecdotal reports of customers dropping poorly functioning carriers formerly chosen on price. Great news for those who have invested in quality networks."
About the Study
