Market Share Impact of AT&T-BellSouth Merger


consolidation.gifCourtesy of Om, this intriguing study (complete with a host of market share tables) from TNS Telecom. The study, based on TNS’ extensive tracking surveys of 32,000 consumers, concludes that a combined AT&T-BellSouth will will control 22% of all consumer dollars spent on telecom services (including video services) and 34% of dollars spent in the business market.

If the market is defined as strictly wireline, then a combined AT&T-BellSouth will control 37% of the market. After the merger closes, virtually half (49%) of the telecommunications market will be controlled by three companies — AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.
