Connectiv Solutions Publishes New Long Distance Cost Study
BETHESDA, MD – JUNE 9, 2010 – Today, Connectiv Solutions, the network efficiency experts, released the results of a year-long analysis of long distance telecommunications costs. Industry Study 2010: Overview of Long Distance Costs for Telecom Service Providers, is a comprehensive report, examining the trends and expenses of nearly 30 billion long distance call detail records. With variable usage continuing to be a significant cost, operators need a reference point to determine if they are obtaining the most competitive rates within the industry. Leveraging this report, they will gain valuable insight into these costs, allowing them to make better strategic decisions to reduce operating expenses (OPEX). Over the past seven years, Connectiv Solutions has helped a majority of the nation’s leading wireless carriers achieve significant cost savings across their network operations.
The study is available free to carriers and the public at: www.connectiv-solutions.com.
This research report summarizes the telecom industry’s terminating rates associated with domestic and international long distance calls during 2009. The report focuses on a number of trends within the industry, including international long distance representing a larger percentage of total long distance bills and an increase in overall telecommunications costs associated with traffic pumping. Connectiv Solutions also highlights a number of observations from the dataset - for example, 60% of intrastate and 70% of interstate domestic traffic terminated to wireless providers.
Brian Silvestri, president of Connectiv Solutions, said, “Industry Study 2010 is the result of many months of hard work by our team of analysts that delivers something unique and valuable to the telecom community. Reducing costs across networks is critical to the success of operators and one such cost is long distance usage. Carriers are leveraging negotiations and least cost routing algorithms to address this expense; however, until now, they had no insight into how they measured up to the industry. Now they do.” He added, “This report delivers previously unseen content with respect to long distance costs and trends and will help operators gain the necessary edge to remain competitive within the industry.”
Connectiv Solution’s Industry Study 2010 is a dynamic set of long distance data that can be extremely useful to telecom carriers. Providers can personalize the results of the study by requesting a Connectiv Benchmarking Analysis, at cost. By comparing the industry to your company’s specific long distance expenses, you can clearly understand how your costs compare to your peers, broken down into a number of categories. More importantly, Connectiv’s team of analysts will create a clear action plan to identify what steps are required to make significant reductions in variable OPEX.
