Since its 1999 launch, The ILEC Advisor has become a leading source of analysis and commentary for the independent communications provider industry—and we now have an estimated readership of more than 2,500. The ILEC Advisor provides its subscribers with numbers and ideas: numbers for gauging performance, trends and values; ideas for defining directions and strategies. In addition to following deals and values in the independent communications provider industry, we also track developments in subscriber counts and access lines; VoIP and broadband companies; cable and satellite providers; broadband over power lines initiatives; and state and federal regulatory issues. One of the main catalysts for The ILEC Advisor’s launch was the GTE rural line sales of 1999. There were 15 deals that year, and another 18 announced, so it only seemed reasonable that a publication such as The ILEC Advisor would find a home in the industry. Since then, our principal objective has been to track trends in public and private market values in the communications industry, and we’ve expanded that focus to include the new technologies, regulatory developments or important issues facing the rural and independent communications sector. As we look to the future of The ILEC Advisor,
and face the reality of competition and declining access lines,
we’ll continue to profile the entrepreneurial efforts and
financial and operational strategies of industry insiders who are
committed to forge ahead in unsettled times. We’re grateful
to those who have supported us over the years, and we look forward
to adding even more subscribers to our readership.
The most recent figures are in, and this year the nation’s total access line count stands at 149.7 million lines, down from 158.5 million in 2006. In its seventh year of publication, Phone Lines 2007 breaks out these 149.7 million lines by providing a comprehensive summary of incumbent local exchange carriers, ranked by access lines, state and parent. We also include detailed analysis and commentary regarding ILEC trends to help you make sense of the numbers, and useful contact information gives you access to 810 individual ILECs. Since its launch in 2001, Phone Lines has
become a well-respected and credible source for many in the independent
communications provider industry, and this year we’ve verified
well over 98% of the access line counts. Order your copy today,
