Telephony online has the EMBARQ 2Q report.
- Second-quarter telecom revenue was down less than 1% from a year earlier, as growth in wireless and high-speed Internet revenue offset declines in traditional voice revenue.
- The company lost 146,000 access lines in the second quarter, but that number was 5000 lower than the number it reported a year ago. In the consumer market, the company lost 127,000 lines in the quarter—8000 fewer than it reported a year ago.
- Embarq’s high-speed access service is now available over 77% of its access lines. During the second quarter, the company’s DSL subscriber base grew by 52,000 to 1.15 million.
Smart move: To address what the company called the primary cause of consumer churn—customers moving—Embarq has brokered agreements with six “medium-sized” CLECS that allow customers to transfer their service to their new address, even if it is outside Embarq’s territory.
