Asia Pacific Leading Metro Ethernet Services Market According to In-Stat

Posted on: Tuesday, 26 September 2006, 12:00 CDT

Asia Pacific (APAC) is leading the market adoption of metro Ethernet

services, as Japan and South Korea companies are entering the mass

adoption stage, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com).

The APAC market registered 0.632 million business metro Ethernet service

subscribers in 2005, the high-tech market research firm says. Most of

them were in Japan and South Korea, and consisted mainly of small and

medium-size enterprises that value the cost-effectiveness of metro

Ethernet services for inter-office connectivity and high-speed Internet

access. The number of metro Ethernet service subscribers among APAC

enterprises is forecasted to grow to over 2.648 million by 2010.

"As service providers realize that the

bandwidth flexibility metro Ethernet offers to enterprise users is

greatly welcomed by customers, they will put more effort into developing

market opportunities around basic metro Ethernet connectivity in the

next five years," says Victor Liu Zhoujiao,

In-Stat analyst.

Recent research by In-Stat found the following:

For service providers, marketing and customer education will play an

important role in getting customers to understand and subscribe to

metro Ethernet services.

A wide selection of value-added services will help operators to

generate sustainable revenue from customers.

In the international sector, major regional and international

bandwidth providers position metro Ethernet as a good replacement of

legacy frame relay, and will accelerate market adoption.
