This IDC study analyzes the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) regional market for Internet access services covering the key markets of Australia, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, the People's Republic of China (PRC), Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. Market sizing and forecasts are provided for narrowband (comprising dial-up and Internet leased line) and broadband services.

"The Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) Internet access services market will continue to see high rates of growth, particularly in developing markets such as China and India," said Tim Crowley, research manager of IP Services. "While narrowband remains the access choice in many markets in the region, broadband uptake continues to be strong, particularly in developing markets. In more advanced markets such as Hong Kong and Korea, competition will remain strong as more services are launched to leverage the high bandwidth available over the market's connections."
