ABOUT THIS REPORT
In Asia Insights:
Fierce competition is the hallmark of the communications industry across the Asian region, which is as diverse culturally as it is technologically and economically. No two countries are alike and no two sub-regions similar. This exclusive TM Forum report, written by industry expert Tony Poulos, packs in all of the information you need on the established and emerging opportunities for growth in this continent.
First, the report looks in detail at Asia’s communications landscape, as varied as the region itself. Like their counterparts around the globe, service providers in Asia are suffering from rising churn rates and falling average revenues per user (ARPU) for core voice services.
The massive ‘subscriber grab’ continues in China and India and is gaining impetus in Indonesia (three of the world’s four most populous countries), but the emphasis is swinging towards retention, new service offerings and improved customer experience. The report also covers:
- why fixed and mobile operators are pushing to provide broadband access
- the wide spectrum of broadband markets in the region
- the economics of rolling out ever more network capacity
Secondly, the report looks at transformation. There is no shortage of innovation in Asia, spurred on by intense competition and the need to provide services specific to individual markets. Service providers want to transform to gain operational efficiency and a flexible platform from which to launch new services and business models. In this context, the report covers many of the different initiatives happening across the continent including:
- emergence of Telco conglomerates
- localization of content
- drivers to improve infrastructure such as banking services provision of education medical services
- smartphones driving massive data demands on mobile broadband networks
- the advanced rollout of LTE networks
- fixed line networks offering xDSL and non-voice services
- the rollout of fiber to the premises broadband networks
- prepaid in the developing markets including the introduction of the over-the-air and consumer-to-consumer prepaid top-ups
