The surge in demand for broadband is driven by the growing popularity of video-on-demand, multi-player online games, video content sharing and social networking services such as YouTube and Facebook, as well as the aggressive push by operators to offer innovative bundled triple- and quadruple-play services.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, entitled Asia Pacific Broadband Access Technology and Market Comparison, reveals that the broadband subscriber base in the region - covering 13 Asia-Pacific countries - reached 129.7 million in 2007 and estimates this to reach 321.8 million by end-2013, at a CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) of 19.90% (2008-13).
