Posted on: Wednesday, 29 June 2005, 12:00 CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20029) has announced the addition of Asia Pacific Broadband to their offering.
The speed of light is 670 million miles per hour, and that's the speed digital data is traveling in the leading broadband countries in Asia. While the West still thinks 1Mbps Internet connections are pretty slick, Internet users in Japan, South Korea, and China are 'riding the light' of optical fiber. The ultra high-speed Internet has arrived in the East, and the West is falling behind.
Asia-Pacific Broadband, a new report from eMarketer, analyzes the impact that the ultra-high speed Internet is having on the Asia-Pacific region--in different countries and different access technologies--and explains the lessons marketers in the rest of the world should be learning from it.
The Asia-Pacific region is home to two of the leading broadband nations in the world in South Korea and Japan, and two of the world's future Internet super-powers in China and India. South Korea and Japan are in the forefront of broadband access because their governments have fostered a competitive marketplace through economic and regulatory policy.
As a result, consumers have a choice of broadband technologies, service providers and residential bandwidth has become extremely affordable. Broadband connections have gone from 1- 3Mbps two years ago to 50MBps - 100Mbps today. New broadband services, including VoIP, online games and IP television, are also driving demand.
In these countries, there is no such thing as too much bandwidth.
Key questions the "Asia-Pacific Broadband" report answers:
- Is the US falling behind its Asia-Pacific competitors? - What lessons can be learned from the leading broadband countries in Asia? - What are the prospects for broadband in the two giant Asia-Pacific markets, India and China? - What are broadband consumers doing with all that bandwidth in Asia-Pacific? - How do broadband prices compare among the leading countries in the region? - And many more... Asia-Pacific Broadband aggregates the latest data from leading marketing and IT researchers--Gartner, Internet World Stats, ITU, Pyramid Research, TNS, Wilkofsky Gruen Associates, World Factbook and many others--with eMarketer's objective, unbiased analysis to give you the information you need to make forward-thinking business decisions.
