In-Depth Analysis: Cellular vs. Wireless Broadband in Asia/PacificProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: In-Stat Published: November 2006 Product Code: R97-2619 Description Against a burgeoning mobile subscriber base in the Asia/Pacific region, which currently stands at 859.4 million with over 130 million being 3G subscribers (including CDMA1X subscribers), a robust growth in data usage broadband wireless access (BWA) technologies has entered the wireless space. Telecom providers introduced BWA technologies to tap into the wireless trend, accelerate wide market diffusion, and to provide consumers with an alternative or complementary value proposition. However, a lack of standardization and interoperability issues have not augured well in adoption rates for most proprietary BWA technologies, although much attention and interest in the past year has been given to WiMAX, an evolution of BWA.WiMAX is gaining momentum now, considering the new opportunity brought by the 802.16e standard (mobile version of WiMAX). In-Stat’s recent reports show that the WiMAX subscribers will exceed 14 million by the end of 2011, which is still largely lacking behind 3G adoption. This report discusses the key initiatives for wireless broadband technologies, and a comparison for current broadband services, cellular services, and wireless broadband services for all 13 countries in the Asia/Pacific region.
