Note: Telsyte's study focused on data service connections rather than Internet access, although it is possible to provide both services over a single connection and many data service providers offer Internet access as a value-added service.  All of the information described in this study reflects Managed Internet-based IP VPN services provided by data service providers. Other than data service providers that also offer Internet access services, we did not attempt to interview members of the ISP community for this study.
