*Pages 1--38 from Microsoft Word - Circuit Status Report December 2004.doc* INTERNATIONAL BUREAU REPORT 2003 Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data December 2004 Cathy Hsu Policy Division 1 1 2003 Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data Introduction This report contains information on U. S. international facilities- based carriers' circuits as of year- end 2003 that was submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) by U. S. carriers pursuant to section 43.82 of the Commission's rules. 1 In addition to the year 2003 data, for comparison purposes, this report includes data from previous reports covering 2000 through 2002. Section 43.82 of the Commission’s rules directs facilities- based carriers to file an international circuit status report by March 31 each year for circuits used to provide international services as of December 31 of the preceding year. The detailed filing requirements are set forth in the Manual for Filing Section 43.82 Circuit Status Data which can be found on the International Bureau's Web site at "http:// www. fcc. gov/ ib/ pd/ pf/ csmanual. html." The aggregated information in this report is useful for Commission regulatory purposes as well as for the public, including industry members, analysts, and potential new entrants. In addition, this annual circuit status report serves as a database for determining and monitoring the payments that the Commission is required to collect (i. e., annual regulatory fees on active 64 Kbps- equivalent international circuits). Reporting Requirements All U. S. international facilities- based common carriers are required to file circuit status information, reflecting both activated (in- service) and idle (available but not in- service) capacity. Although units of circuit capacity have increased to E- 1 2 and STM- 1 3 levels, all services are reported in 64 Kbps- equivalent circuits, the minimum measurable unit. This is done to accommodate those carriers that have low traffic volume and therefore cannot report by large capacity units, such as an E- 1 unit, with respect to any particular country. The Commission’s manual on filing circuit status reports defines international facilities- based circuits as "international circuits in which a carrier has an ownership interest that includes outright ownership, indefeasible right of use (IRU) interests, or leasehold interest in capacity in an international facility, regardless of whether the underlying facility is a common or non- common carrier submarine cable or an INTELSAT or other satellite system." This definition is consistent with the definition of "international 1 47 C. F. R. § 43.82. 2 1 E- 1 = 30 64 Kbps circuits. 3 1 STM- 1 = 1,890 64 Kbps circuits. 2 2 facilities- based carrier" contained in section 63.09 (a) of the Commission's rules. 4 This report includes data on circuits from U. S. domestic points to foreign points as well as to offshore U. S. points. United States and foreign points are identified in the Wireline Competition Bureau Industry Analysis and Technology Division report titled International Points used for FCC Reporting Purposes (International Points Report), released April 1, 1994. 5 U. S. domestic points are the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Foreign points include foreign destinations as well as ships operating in international waters. Offshore U. S. points include U. S. territories such as American Samoa, Guam, Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Atoll, Navassa Island, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palmyra Atoll, the U. S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island. The International Points Report uses the following regional codes: Region Code Western Europe 1 Africa 2 Middle East 3 Caribbean 4 North and Central America 5 South America 6 Asia 7 Oceania 8 Eastern Europe 9 International Water Area 10 The services that are covered by this report include International Message Telephone Service (IMTS) (switched voice), International Private Line Service (IPLS) (including voice and data) and Miscellaneous or Other International Services (including any data services and video services, other than private line service). Data Presentation Table 1 lists 79 carriers that filed circuit status reports, the same number of entities that filed in 2002. 4 47 C. F. R. § 63.09 (a). 5 See http:// www. fcc. gov/ wcb/ latd/ intl. html. 3 3 However, only 67 carriers filed and reported active or idle capacity in 2003. The remaining 12 carriers did not have any active or idle capacity in 2003. Among the filings, 11 carriers including the largest three – AT& T, MCI WorldCom, Inc., and Sprint Communications Company L. P. – requested confidentiality under the Freedom of Information Act. 6 As denoted in Table 1, these carriers' reports are not available to the public. Our aggregated data, as listed in this report, however, reflects all of the carriers' information, including information from those carriers asking for confidential treatment. Tables 2 through 5 present four years of available data (2000 through 2003) 7 for each category of transmission facility. Table 2 presents undersea cable circuits; Table 3, satellite; Table 4, terrestrial; 8 and Table 5, the combined transmission circuits. All tables include information organized by service type for 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 data. As Table 2 shows, the undersea cable circuits accounted for 80% of the overall active transmission capacity in 2003, compared to 76% in 2002. This reflects the continuing trend of cable’s increased share and significance in the international transmission capacity market. Table 3 shows that international satellite circuits only accounted for one percent of overall transmission capacity, a continued decrease from 2002. As Table 4 demonstrates, terrestrial links accounted for 18% of 2003 active circuit capacity, a further three percentage point decrease from 2002’s 21%. Table 5 combines all three transmission media: IMTS, Private Lines and Other International Services. A service mix by region from 2000 to 2003 is calculated and shown on the last page of Table 5. For 2003, IMTS circuits accounted for 13% of the total active capacity. Private Line and “Other” (data) services continued to show growth in 2003; the combined growth rate (Private Line and “Other” (data) services) - 39% in 2003 - was much stronger than the 18% growth rate in 2002. Again, in 2003, the “Other” (data) services showed a much higher growth rate, 165%, compared to the 12% growth rate for traditional Private Line services. A greater number of carriers offered other data services to meet high demand for new flexible data services. The top 30 destinations, which accounted for almost 97% of the total U. S.- activated circuits at year- end 2003, are listed in Table 6. The United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Germany, and Mexico are the top five countries. Malaysia, Argentina, and Spain are new among the top 30 destinations in 2003, replacing Macau, Thailand, and South Africa. In 2003, most of the top 30 destination countries reported capacity use for IMTS that was significantly lower than for private lines and other data services. However, three top 30 destinations, Italy, 9 Belgium, and Spain reported larger capacity use for IMTS than for private lines and other data services. Due to technological changes, more and more services are being placed on 6 5 U. S. C § 552. See also 47 C. F. R. §§ 0.457, 0.459. 7 Although this report excludes 1995 – 1999 data, that information is available in our previous reports, which are available on the FCC website http:// www. fcc. gov/ ib/ pd/ pf/ csmanual. html. 8 Terrestrial circuits include circuits carried both by microwave facilities and by terrestrial cables. Terrestrial circuits do not include circuits carried by undersea cables. 9 There is very little non- IMTS capacity reported to Italy. Two of the reported carriers indicated that their customers disconnected private line services during 2003. Each of those customers was using very large capacity of private line services in 2002. Because of the disconnection in 2003, our report, therefore, shows a big decrease of private line service circuits to Italy. 4 4 larger transmission units, such as a STM- 1 circuit rather than on a 64 kbps circuit or an E- 1 circuit. Thus, new services may be provided over a relatively large capacity unit, even though the unit would not be filled to capacity initially. This is true particularly for voice services. As a consequence, the ratio of IMTS to Private Line circuits has become less meaningful. We list the percentage of total services by IMTS and Non- IMTS services in Table 6. Supplementary Data Table 7 lists all operational trans- oceanic fiber optic cables, both common carrier and non- common carrier cables, in 64 Kbps units from 1995 to 2005. 10 The reported total construction cost of each cable (if available) also is included in Table 7 for further reference. 11 In 2003, the combined cable capacity (activated and idle circuits) reported by U. S. carriers for the trans- Atlantic region was 3,270,463 64 Kbps circuits (Regions 1, 2, 3 and 9), a 2.8% decrease from the 3,364,259 circuits reported in 2002. Those accounted for 11.9% of the total available cable capacity, a decrease from 15.5% in 2002. Due to the fact that the Apollo cable went into service in 2003, the percentage of reported capacity was lower than in 2002 (in general, newly built cables do not have much reported active or idle capacity in their first year of operation). In the Americas region (regions 4, 5 and 6), the activated and idle cable capacity accounted for 8.6% of the total available cable capacity. In the trans- Pacific region, where a relatively large new cable – Tyco Pacific - went into service in 2003, the reported activated and idle cable capacity accounted for 14.2% of the total available cable capacity, a decrease from 24% in 2002. The reported activated circuits as a percentage of total available circuits for three regions are also included in Table 7. Overall, the total reported activated circuits accounted for 7.0% of total available capacity world wide. As indicated in our previous reports, reported cable capacity (activated and idle circuits) likely understates the actual amount of capacity that is in use. 12 This year’s data shows a pattern that is similar 10 There are no pending cable landing applications before the Commission. 11 Several private cables either have been sold in recent years or are in the process of changing ownership. Hibernia Atlantic cable (former 360atlantic cable) was bought by Columbia Ventures Corporation at bankruptcy court for $17.2 million in April 2003 (www. hiberniaatlantic. com/ hibernia/ Main/ Company. htm, downloaded 12/ 08/ 2004). Global Crossing, the owner of six major cables, AC- 1, AC- 2, PC- 1, MAC, PAC, and SAC cables, transferred 61.6% ownership to ST Telemedia for $250 million in October 2003 (www. forrelese. com/ D20031008/ law111. P1.10082003214329.19486. html, downloaded 12/ 08/ 2004). FLAG Telecom, the owner of three large cables; FLAG Atlantic – 1, FLAG cable, and FLAG North- Asian Loop (FNAL); was acquired by Reliance Group, an India company, for $211 million in January 2004 (www. rediff. com/ money/ 2004/ jan/ 13ril. htm, downloaded 12/ 08/ 2004). Last month, VSNL, the largest telecom company in India, announced its intension to acquire Tyco Global Network, the owner of Tyco Atlantic and Tyco Pacific cables, for $130 million (www. tata. com/ vsnl/ media/ 20041102. htm downloaded 12/ 08/ 2004). All of those new purchase prices for existing cables are much lower than the initial costs to construct the cables. 12 In our previous reports we identified three reasons for the discrepancy between reported capacity (activated plus idle circuits) and available capacity. First, foreign carriers hold significant amounts of the U. S. international cable capacity and are not required to report their capacity under section 43.82 unless they use their capacity for the provision of U. S. international service. Second, for any new cable system, a substantial amount of capacity that is actually activated or idle may be under- reported, particularly in the year in which many new cables come on line. Third, an increasing number of non-common carrier cables have been built, and much of the capacity on those private cables is sold to end- users, such as Internet Service providers (ISPs) or to foreign carriers or foreign ISPs. Under those circumstances, neither cable owners nor cable users are required to report those capacities that are either activated or idle. 5 5 to previous years: the overall reported cable capacity accounted for 12.3% of the total available cable capacity, a decrease of 16.8% from last year’s ratio. The same discrepancy between reported and available capacity may exist for satellite data because many private satellite operators market their capacity directly to end- users and, thus are not subject to our reporting requirements. 13 We have included updated cable capacity information for the years 2004 to 2005. Due to the lack of concrete information on initial capacity, we have based our calculations on the planned initial capacity. Our estimates of total available capacity for the years 2004 to 2005, therefore, are conservative. 13 U. S. satellite available capacity is calculated differently than total U. S. available cable capacity. Due to the flexible nature of satellite coverage, each satellite can cover various countries and can be available to all those countries within its footprint. Therefore, there is no accurate way to calculate the fixed amount of capacity that can be allocated to any given country for any specific time frame. On the other hand, the location of fiber optic cables is fixed because they are deployed only to their planned cable stations, making it possible to calculate the total available cable capacity on a particular route for any given time frame. 6 TABLE - 1 INTERNATIONAL CARRIERS THAT FILED 43.82 CIRCUIT STATUS DATA AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 No. Note Company 1 ABS- CBN Telecom, North America, Inc. 2 3 Allegiance Telecom, Inc. 3 Allstream Fiber U.
