SINGAPORE – IDC has once again named Verizon as a leading player in the Asia-Pacific next-generation telecom services market in the analyst firm’s annual report on the region.
In its report, “IDC MarketScape: Asia/Pacific Next Generation Telecom Services 2011 Vendor Analysis,”1 IDC attributes Verizon’s leadership position to the company’s continued upgrading of its global network, investments in its datacenters and security capabilities, plus ongoing efforts to enhance the overall customer experience.

IDC defines “next-generation telecom services” to include international IP VPN and Ethernet services, managed services (including cloud services), and professional IT services (excluding support services) that are offered in the Asia-Pacific region. Vendors are evaluated based on their capabilities within the enterprise segment in the region.
