Abstract
This IDC study provides forecasts for and analyses of the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ mobile services market for 11 countries in the region - Australia, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, the People' s Republic of China (PRC), Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia. This study also provides a review of the mobile markets in the said countries, SP and competitive performances in 2007, and how subscriber and service trends have evolved. Forecast data is also provided for the total number of mobile subscribers and the mobile penetration rates and the total mobile service revenue segmented by service type - mobile voice and non voice - and by subscription - prepaid and contract.
"With the world' s most populous countries' (the PRC and India) unabated thirst for mobile services, APEJ remains the fastest-growing region in the world. The importance of the rural submarkets in emerging markets will continue to increase as time goes by, especially if metropolitan areas become more saturated. 2007 will be remembered as the year of High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) services and the full realization of what it means to have mobile broadband services. 3G subscribers grew 70% in 2007," says Alex Chau, senior research manager, Mobile and Wireless Technologies/Services Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
