● Asia Internet Market Report

While there is considerable activity in the Internet and online markets across the region, the market in
Asia continues to be dominated by the big players of North Asia, (South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, etc),
with a significant role also being played by some of the South East Asian countries (Singapore,
Malaysia, etc). Of course, in terms of sheer Internet user numbers, China (384 million) and India (81
million) maintain a real presence, despite their modest user penetration figures. Notably, China
surpassed the US in 2008 to become the largest nation of Internet users in the world and by end 2009
was showing no signs of slowing down.

This market report provides a comprehensive overview of the Internet segment of the market across the
various economies of Asia. The overview naturally includes a look at the broadband segment within
these markets. See Table of Contents and Executive Summary. Generated by www.PDFonFly.com at 11/19/2010 8:24:27 AM

 Global Telecommunications - Investing in the Communications Revolution
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this report is that the views of Professor Carlota Perez as
expressed here were written well before the financial crisis. This makes this report all the more poignant.
At the same time it validates that telecoms have a key role to play in the economic revival. However, this
will need to be done in a totally new framework in order to get us through the transition period of the
communications revolutions. We are now moving towards what she calls the mass deployment phase,
which will be accompanied by unprecedented social and economic benefits not just for individual nations
but, if we do it right, for all the global community also. Table of Contents.

Asian Telecommunications - Mobile Operators Report

This market report provides a wide-ranging review of mobile operators across the Asian region. The
overview covers around 170 operators that were to be found in Asia in 2010. There was a combined
total of close to 2.1 billion mobile subscribers being served by these operators going into 2010 and this
is expected to reach a total of over 2.5 billion by year end. The list of operators ranges from the giant
China Mobile with more than 500 million subscribers right through to a number of small operators with
only a few thousand subscribers each. It is noted that of the region's operators just 15 of these have a
combined share of around 68% of the regional mobile market.

This overview of operators in the region does not claim to present an exhaustive list of licensed
operators but it certainly is indicative of the breadth and variety of operator to be found in the region. It
also reflects the highly competitive nature of the mobile sector in this region. The range of information
presented in the text, and where appropriate in tables, includes: brief history of the company; corporate
and business structure; subscriber growth; some information on financial performance; market position.
