Tom Carroll Ranjini Srikantiah James Wolters May 811, 2000 Introduction When Alexander Graham Bell uttered his now famous words on the first telephone, he probably had no idea how much of an impact he would have on society to come. It is nearly impossible to imagine life today without cell phones, pagers, modems and fax machines. Connectivity has pervaded our homes and our businesses, allowing us to live in a truly non-stop, global society. Just as our methods of hooking into the network have changed from single-line telephones to multi-function personal digital assistants, the nature of the backbone, the telecommunications services industry, has evolved as well. In the United States we have moved from a vertical industry, in which each service provider owns all pieces of the voice/data transmission chain, to a more horizontal structure, in which multiple players must operate together. The structure of the industry has influenced technology development and vice-versa. As we move forward into a more complex, demanding world, will the industry tend to collapse into two or three main, vertically-integratedvertically integrated competitors, or will it expand into multiple niche players, each pursuing a different piece of the pie? To predict what will happen, it is helpful to examine industry changes in the past, identify the key drivers during these times, and pinpoint critical components whichcomponents that may affect industry structure in the future. In the Beginning. When we think of the telecommunications industry in the United States in the past, we often tend to remember the long reign of AT&T, or Ma Bell, as it was fondly termed, delivering every piece of the telecom service value chain: (attach Stalkamp funnel with one AT&T).  Figure 1: Telephone service provider industry structure (1934-1982) But before this giant power did gain its monopoly, there were actually many smaller, independent telephone and telegraph companies in existence. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, people subscribing to multiple telephone services would purchase a separate telephone from each company in order to make calls. In 1923, tThe US government saw the potential benefits of having a telephone in every household in every part of the country. In a series of actions culminating in the 1934 Communications Act, Tthe government struck a deal with AT&T, giving the company monopoly rights as long as it promised to provide universal access to every house in the United States. This agreement was challenged several times by smaller competitors in the industry who felt AT&T practices were making it impossible for them to offer competitive services. Finally in 1982, the Department of Justice filed an anti-trust lawsuit against AT&T. The ruling handed down by the courts stipulated that AT&T would have until 1984 to split its operations. The attached figure depicts the new industry structure:  Figure 2: Breakup of AT&T as a result of the 1984 DOJ Modified Final Judgement . (attach slide: AT&T ( RBOCs from presentation). AT&T would continue to develop and sell equipment into the market, and would be able to provide long distance service only. The Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) would provide local service in 7 distinct geographic regions in the United States. These regional companies were commonly referred to as the Baby Bells. A Newly Competitive Market The years following the 1984 breakup of AT&T have seen an intense acceleration of horizontal diversification. Many new players entered the telecommunications arena, offering new options for the telephone service consumer in a tightly focused niche. (Attach appropriate Stalkamp funnel figure here) The following figure depicts some of the changes occuringoccurring in the service provider value chain during the 1980s and 1990s:  Figure 3: Telecommunications industry structure (1984-1996) Competitive Access Providers (CAPs), gave a consumer alternative methods of accessing the telecom networkarose to connect business customers directly from the company premises to the long-distance carrier, bypassing the RBOC access fees. Competitive Local Exchange CarrieresCarriers (CLECs) competed against the RBOCs to provide local service within certain regions. Interexchange Carriers (IEXs) carried voice from a local network to the long-distance one. (?? Is this correct??)competed against AT&Ts long distance service, and integrated with Internet backbone providers to become the long-haul networks of the future. Even though the late 1990s gave rise to many new long-distance carriers such as Global Crossing, Qwest, Level-3, Frontier and others, AT&T and MCI/Worldcom still control most of the market, combining for 82% of the long-distance market in 1999. In the meantime AT&T split again, separating its research and development labs and manufacturing capability for equipment from its long distance service company. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 deregulated the industry completely, by envisioning one competitive open market for long distance, local, wireless and cable services. Each local exchange carrier could now offer video, sell long-distance services outside its region, and sell within its region if it could prove that the region was open to competition. The long distance players and the cable companies were also allowed to offer local service. An Era of Consolidation  Instead of instantly opening up a new, competitive telecommunications landscape, the Telecom Act of 1996 brought about a series of mergers and acquisitions among various players. A figure depicting several such consolidations is attachedshown below: Figure 4: Consolidation trajectories in major telecommunications service providers . (attach slide: Telecom convergence and consolidation from presentation). The seven RBOCs are now down to four, competitively offering more breadth of service in larger geographic areas. Each company wants to be the one-stop-shop for all customer needs, so mergers of previously distinct entities, such as US West (local/regional carrier) and Global Crossing (long distance carrier) have become commonplace. (Attach slide: Stalkamp Funnel of current consolidation)  Figure 5: Post-1996 Telecommunications industry structure and current trends The current consolidations in the telecom industry, shown in figure 5, reflect the competitive position the RBOCs find themselves in today. Each RBOC has an extensive local reach and brand name recognition, but lacks widespread deployment of adequate last-mile the technology to support the new bandwidth or speed requirements for information transfer. (attach chart from presentation showing demands for broadband)Demand for additional bandwidth is driving much of the industry behavior, both now and for the forseeableforeseeable future. The following chart shows some of the factors behind the desire flast-mile technology options for achieving increased bandwidth:  Figure 6: Deployment of fiber / reduction of copper to satisfy bandwidth demand Local utility companies (i.e., gas & electric),Any CLECs, national carriers or other players willing to invest inwith newer technology provides a serious threat to the RBOCs. The RBOCs are well positioned to provide the new public network fiber to the neighborhoods and homes but must move fast to avoid being overtaken by the competition. OtherThe opportunities for the RBOCs lie in developing or acquiring newer technology, expanding to carry long distance calls, and exploring international markets. Speed appears to be of the essence these days as we see more companies expanding by merger rather than developing internally. Another reason consolidation has been prevalent is that no one really knows which technology will dominate. Wireless communication, cable, and internetInternet telephony all seem like plausible platforms for the future. Wireless technologies are appealing because they allow extensive coverage without the need for substantial capital investment, and the market opportunity is very large. A 1999 Hoovers industry snapshot reported estimated a market penetration of 17% in the United States, and only 3% worldwide. Wireless does have its share of problems, though. Limited frequencies, difficulty transmitting data and a severe lack of standards prevent wireless from becoming dominant today. Cable networks have about 60% of all households in the United States connected, but cable was only designed for one-way broadcast, not two-way communication. The investment that would be required to update the networks is difficult for cable companies to finance, given their current debt-ridden state. AT&T, however, has been buying cable assets as a means of increasing their households passed metric. This positions them as a potential all-distance competitor, completely bypassing the RBOCs as local carriers. Also, a new technology, called Voice Over the Internet Protocol (VoOIP) or Internet telephony, does have promise. There are lower build costs since the IP network basically existssince data equipment costs 70% less than voice equipment, and leased data access lines are 60% to 80% cheaper than voice lines. Still,, but the technology is still under development, and no standards exist, and the quality of service is still well behind that of the current switched voice networks.. As Time Goes On. Predicting where the industry will go in the future is not an easy task. The pace of telecommunications development has become so rapid that each day heralds multiple headlines announcing mergers, divestitures or new technologies. The double helix model proposed by C. Fine in Clockspeed tends to suggest that the market is moving towards integration. (Attach slide: The Fine Helix from presentation):  Figure 7: Fines Double Helix, showing pressure to integrate in service provision Figure 7 shows how the requirement to provide a wide range broadband services, market power of the largest firms (AT&T and MCI/WorldCom), and economies of scope and scale have moved the service provider industry along the right side of the double helix. Additional Ffactors supporting this stance trend are the need for a dominant communication protocol and the high cost of capital required to maintain the telecommunications infrastructure. On the other hand, the forces of diversification may be more powerful, keeping us in a horizontal structure. This view proposes that the pace of the industry is so fast, large consolidated companies will not be agile enough to compete so we will tend to see more focused, specialized players. The development of open standards will help maintain this modular structure. The extent of government intervention will play a key role in determining what the ultimate structure will be.  Our prediction is that two or three large, vertically-integratedvertically integrated companies will dominate the US. (attach Stalkamp funnel Future Consolidation) Figure 8: The Future Vertical structure of the service provider industry (sometime soon) These large, vertically integrated companies will form the backbone of the telecommunications network. They will have the resources and the market power to bring together all of the myriad of players in the industry and force feasible solutions to the technological challenges of the future. An interesting and very recent validation of this view was the recent lecture at MIT by the Chairman and CEO of Lucent Technologies, Richard McGinn. Based on developments that are just emerging in optical technologies, there will be four essential players in the last mile market: HFC (Hybrid fiber / cable coaxial) networks Fiber-optic networks Wireless local networks (e.g. MMDS Multipoint Multichannel Distribution Services) Free Space laser networks (point-to-point optical transmission) The market opportunity for regional carriers is that of all these competing technologies, only fiber-optic cable strung to the neighborhood (or house) will provide the requisite amount of bandwidth. In addition, the fiber network is the only real long haul network; the other three technologies require use of the fiber network. A phone call between two wireless users, for example, must at some point utilize the local carrier to connect the two cells. Using the Information Superhighway analogy, it could be said that you cant get from here to there on the backroads: you have to get on the interstate. Attached to this main fiber-optic backbone, however, will be many smaller niche competitors operating in a more modular/horizontal structure, using the types of technologies mentioned above. .The externalities of this type of industry structure a large and vertically integrated backbone, with many smaller offerings that rely on it for their service provision provide market power and revenue opportunities for the few players that become big enough to control the network.
