WiMAX in Asia/Pacific: A Well Laid Foundation for Prominent Future Growth
In-Stat/MDR, March 2007, Pages: 64
The year 2006 was a remarkable one for WiMAX. In the Asia/Pacific region, the South Korea version of mobile WiMAX—WiBro services—was commercialized in June. Although the subscriber growth was below expectation due to limited network coverage and lack of user devices, operators are working hard to grow their businesses after the initial difficulties. In other parts of the region, especially in emerging countries where the current household broadband penetration rates were extremely low, governments quickly built a pro-WiMAX regulatory framework. Operators also gained much confidence from the Sprint-Nextel decision to adopt WiMAX for their 4G network, and were actively conducting trials in hopes that WiMAX would lead to a lucrative wireless broadband business. In general, a solid foundation was laid by the joint efforts of market regulators, operators, and eager equipment vendors: prominent growth of the WiMAX market is highly possible in the Asia/Pacific region.
Measuring the market growth potential in numbers, from a lean base of 0.27 million WiMAX and Pre-WiMAX subscribers in 2006, total WiMAX subscribers in 16 Asia/Pacific countries are expected to reach 31.43 million by 2012. Another 7.63 million users are expected to adopt the WiMAX-backhauled Wi-Fi network by 2012. The sum of subscription revenue collected by operators for both services will increase from US$438.9 million in 2006 to US$5092.0 million in 2012.
