Key highlights
-Thailand’s mobile market was approaching 40 million subscribers in early 2007. After more than six straight years of strong growth, the annual increase in the mobile subscriber numbers was still running at over 20%.
-The 2006 year saw another surge in Thailand’s broadband Internet market with subscriber growth running at an annual rate of around 100%. Interest in broadband services was finally picking up; but all this was happening from a relatively tiny base and broadband penetration remained low (1% penetration).
-Despite a slowing of economic growth following the September 2006 coup, the post-coup government, after a number of missteps, was working hard to stimulate the economy, looking to such initiatives as free trade agreements.
-In Myanmar, mobile services reportedly grew at a strong annual rate in excess of 100% in 2006, albeit from a tiny base. The subscriber numbers moved from 126,000 (0.3% penetration) in 2005 to 269,000 (6% penetration) in 2007. -Further information on this growth has been difficult to access. It is therefore hard to judge whether this growth pattern will continue.
-From totally different perspectives both Thailand and Myanmar must seriously address regulatory reform. Thailand needs to work to get fresh momentum in its stalled reform processes; Myanmar needs to get some sort of reform process started. The latter has a long way to go.
