 Canada - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
Canada currently ranks 10th in the OECD for broadband penetration, down from second place in 2002. Canada's broadband markets also rank poorly in terms of prices and speeds. Nevertheless, government policy has encouraged widespread availability, particularly to rural and regional areas, such that approximately 95% of Canadians live in communities served by broadband access. Cable still leads DSL in terms of subscriber numbers, with DOCSIS 3.0 upgrades reigniting cable subscriber growth, 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 - Digital TV Broadcasting
Synopsis
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 95% of all Canadian households passed by broadband networks by early 2010. 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 Networks
Synopsis
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. 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 modernise their network infrastructure, by deploying optical fibre deeper into the network, albeit at slower deployment rates than other developed nations. In addition to the cable and telco networks, there are a number of NGNs emerging in the public and not-for-profit arenas.

Canada - Major Telecommunication and Cable Operators - Overview & Statistics
Synopsis
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 competition coming from the cable sector in the form of rapidly expanding cable broadband, VoIP and more recently mobile services. This report provides highlights of the sector and outlines the major activities of the largest incumbents and cable companies together with their recent key financial data and operating statistics.

Canada - Telecoms, Wireless & Broadband - Key Statistics, Overview & Analysis 2009-2010
Synopsis
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 2010 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 wireless 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, in 2009 it was placed a comparatively poor tenth highest. This report provides key statistical data on the major telecommunications segments together with an overview of each major sector.
