Broadband in Asia-Pacific: how investment, partnerships and policy are driving a global success story

A new piece of independent research by Analysys Mason, commissioned by Google, explores how the broadband ecosystem has developed in the Asia-Pacific region1 over the past 15 years, and the opportunities that this has created for consumers and telecoms operators.

Highlights from the report, which covers 21 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, ranging from the most advanced broadband markets in the world to the least advanced, will be shared at this session. These highlights include how the tremendous growth in broadband has influenced the growth of telecoms operators in the region, as well as the impact content and application providers have on the growth of the broadband ecosystem and user adoption. The report also looks at how broadband take-up and usage throughout the region, including in the less connected countries, could be accelerated through innovative partnerships, good regulation and judicious public initiatives.
