Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nkt6kw/global_ip) has announced the addition of the "Global IP Exchange: Current Status and Future Prospects for IPX" report to their offering.

This report provides in-depth analysis of the emerging global IP Exchange (IPX) market. Based on interviews with IPX providers and wholesale service buyers, the study assesses the development of the IPX market and includes service provider comparisons, reviews customer needs, and provides market forecasts. It delivers insight into the opportunities open to suppliers and buyers.

Global carriers have been steadily announcing the launch of their global IPX networks. Many have also been declaring the introduction of new services to go over those networks, and initial customer contracts too. However, the market is confused, with service providers attributing the IPX brand to a wide range of different services, network types, and customer contracts. Wholesale service buyers are currently investigating IPX-based services and assessing whether they make a good strategic fit, but remain cautious.

- This report cuts through the hype, and provides a framework for analysis of the market, so that services can be compared on a like-for-like basis.

- It reviews the current and future offers of the leading IPX providers.

- It compares the offers against the market needs of the IPX buyers and potential buyers, showing where the opportunities can be found, and how IPX service providers need to evolve their offerings in order to maximise their success.
