“Next Generation Access Report:  2001 – 2006, Summary and Top Five”  is an abbreviated version of the main report and includes all the national level forecasts and analysis with detail on the top five states and metro areas.  With over 60 tables and graphs, this data intensive report provides a six year comprehensive look at the United States converging mobile and fixed markets for voice and data services, including detail on the top five states and metro areas.

 Next Generation Access:  2001 - 2006 provides a cross industry look at end-user demand for network access - both mobile and fixed.  It introduces a new term “access connection” to describe an environment where a mobile “phone” is comparable to a dial-up voice line in the eyes of the end-user.  This “Next Generation Access Report” includes access connection forecasts for fixed and mobile services, by metro area and state, for home, business locations, and anywhere in between, thus providing a comprehensive view of the total access demand, across industry sectors, for any geographic area in the US.

 The report predicts the U.S. total access connections (mobile and fixed) will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 19% driven by increased data and mobile usage, and that by 2006, 60% of total access connections will be for data.  End-users will continue to find mobile service a cost effective substitute for fixed services. As a result, mobile voice access connections will surpass fixed voice by 2005.

 The report is delivered electronically in pdf format and includes a spreadsheet data file in MS Excel that contains the data in the report tables including the top five states and metro areas.   The report including the data file sells for  $1,700.
