Asia Telcos with Pan-Asia Footprint

This IDC study looks at the performance and strategies of four service providers (SPs) in Asia as they strengthen and change their positioning and strategies in the Asia/Pacific region. These providers were chosen due to their recent desires and ambitions to expand across the region, trying to capture this market that has so far been serviced mostly by the global service providers (GSPs).

"As Asia telcos built up their capabilities, expanded their networks, and moved up the value chain, with some offering a wide variety of ICT managed services, they are challenging head-on with many of these GSPs. The future of competition in the region is likely to be focused on SP's ability in delivering quality ICT services, in designing customized networking solutions and ensuring network reliability while providing first-class services," says Zarina Jabbar, research manager, Asia/Pacific Communications Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
