Asia/Pacific at Forefront of Broadband Fiber Evolution


Current Issue



Coupled with impressive growth in its broadband subscriber base, the Asia/Pacific region is standing at the forefront of the

Fiber to the Home/Node/Business (FTTx) evolution,
reports In-Stat. Carriers such as Korea Telecom and NTT have committed to investing heavily to change copper infrastructures

to fiber by 2010, the high-tech market research firm
says.

"The next-generation broadband access services strategy, as proven in markets like Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, is to

focus on market proliferation of value-added broadband services, driven by the launch of compelling broadband content (i.e.

IPTV and VoIP) and innovative broadband pricing plans," says Bryan Wang, In-Stat analyst.

Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
  • The total Asia/Pacific broadband access services market will exceed 225 million subscribers by 2011
  • In 2006 FTTx represented 9.5% of the total Asia/Pacific subscriber base.
  • Japan and South Korea are the two markets that will see FTTx replacing existing xDSL subscriber connections by 2011.
