Summary

This IDC study presents results from IDC's 2008 U.S. WAN Manager Survey. It focuses on responses related to network infrastructure utilization and migration plans, service provider selection and perceptions, and telecom spending/budgeting. By presenting results by company size, it focuses on the strategies of small, medium-sized, and large United States-based businesses from a demand-side perspective. Telecommunications services continue to evolve, with new products and features continually being brought to market. The current hot topics in the industry include WAN access and IP VPN trends.

"The U.S. IP VPN segment will continue to experience robust growth. Although overall growth has slowed down to lower migration rates, this sector remains a strong catalyst for growth for the overall data network segment," says Meera Singh, research director, Worldwide Telecommunications.
