Corporations and other end-user organizations have growing appetites for bandwidth
and are looking for ways to connect their various sites with higher bandwidth at
lower prices per bit. When faced with rising bandwidth needs, smaller organizations
and sites are considering Internet connections on Ethernet as an upgrade from DSL
or one or two T1/E1s. Medium and large organizations that have Frame Relay, ATM,
and/or private line networks in place try to keep bandwidth use within the range of
the technology limitations of these services, but when these limits are approached or
exceeded, organizations must change technology, and at this point, they naturally consider
Ethernet services.

Ethernet service growth is also driven by the fact that many organizations seek to
reduce their WAN costs, and it??™s logical to evaluate Ethernet services, as they have a
reputation for having lower prices per bit.
