<title>Share of Wallet: US WAN Market Trends by Size of Business</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R97-3108.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[ In 2008, US WAN wireline data services revenues are projected to see an overall increase of 2% from 2007, with moderate growth projected through 2012.  During this period, these services will go thorough a significant transition, as businesses continue to move from legacy services to next-generation network (NGN) services.
  
Currently, legacy services (frame relay, private line, and ATM) generate almost twice the revenue of NGN services (IP/MPLS and Ethernet services), but, looking forward, In-Stat anticipates this to dramatically change, projecting that, by 2012, the revenue allocation for these services will essentially reverse.  The pace and volume of this transition will vary by size of business.
  
This report provides a consolidated overview of the transitions taking place within the US wireline data services marketplace for all four major market segments: enterprise (firms with 1,000+ employees), mid-sized business (firms with 100-999 employees), small business (firms with 5-99 employees), ]]></description>

<title>Airborne Picocell Networks</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3469-7.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The declining cost of cabin electronics has forced previously skeptical airlines to reconsider passenger connectivity services.   While passenger surveys have shown strong demand since 2001, low cost hardware is finally allowing airlines to supply services with far more reasonable capital outlays.  However, as communications technology has advanced, choices have expanded, even in the face of standards like ARINC 763, and air carriers are now choosing from a growing selection of GSM and Wi-Fi cabin architectures.  
  
As airlines spend more time and effort planning cabin networks, many are asking : 

 how many picocells and access points will be installed on commercial jets over the next three years? 

 to what extent do pricing, cabling requirements, and demand differ for GSM and Wi-Fi services? 

 wireless in-flight entertainment systems have been shelved, and Connexion failed, what&rsquo;s different 
about this market?
