Target Audience: Enterprise IT & Procurement Leaders expanding networks between the US, Canada, and Europe.
US Clients Expanding to Canada & Europe:
Pricing Models: Canada’s carrier oligopoly creates high local loop and long-haul wave costs; Europe features a fragmented market with localized power indexation and cross-connect fees.
Tariffs & Regulations: Heavy import duties on network equipment (routers, optical switches), local VAT/GST, and strict data sovereignty laws.
Canadian Clients Expanding to the US:
Vendor Landscape: Navigating thousands of US alt-nets, metro-E providers, and local exchange points vs. Canada’s few incumbent carriers.
Hidden Surcharges: Factoring in complex US regulatory fees (USF surcharges, state/local right-of-way fees) that inflate base quotes.
Currency Risk: Managing USD contract exposure against CAD fluctuations.
How We Help (The Value Add)
