The entrance of RBOCs in the long distance market has dramatically impacted
its dynamics. Bundling strategies, innovative pricing schemes, increasing
competitive pressures, an uncertain regulatory environment and rapid migration
to wireless and IP services are crucial factors influencing this market.
In the first edition of "RBOCs in Long Distance" (2003-2008), we
introduce and explain the different trends and issues that RBOCs face when
competing in the long distance market. Additionally, we provided detailed case

analyses of the impact it has on their current revenues and profitability,
including forecasts of their future income through 2008, and positioning
analyses. Additionally, we defined the three main drivers in this industry and
presented a forward-looking view of the direction of RBOCs in the long distance
market.
