Covad One of Eight Business-class DSL Market Leaders in the US
August 4, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Covad, a leading integrated voice and data communications provider whose services include web hosting, has been included in a report produced by industry research firm Gartner, Inc., the company announced recently. The report, "Business-Class Digital Subscriber Line Services in North America", suggests Covad is one of eight business-class DSL market leaders in the US.
"In my eight years at Covad I've seen the focus of our DSL business evolve from consumer offers for wholesale partners to business-class solutions sold directly," said David McMorrow, Covad Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "There has always been a strong market for business-class DSL and Covad is better positioned than ever to capture that demand and grow our revenues."
The Gartner report forecasts the number of business-class DSL lines will grow from around 4.3 million at the end of 2005 to about 11.85 million by the end of 2010 and is due in part to the emergence of ADSL 2+ - a next-generation DSL technology employed by Covad.
"Covad is a DSL pioneer and one of a small number of leaders in the DSL market in the U.S.," said Dan O'Connell, Research Director at Gartner. "The deployment of ADSL 2+ positions Covad to remain among the top DSL providers going forward." By the end of 2006, Covad will be able to offer ADSL 2+ in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, San Diego and Washington, DC, joining San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Dallas where Covad's network already operates.
