Asia Wireless News
Asia will be the biggest growth driver, regionally, for mobile subscriptions and web services throughout the decade. The huge region demonstrates a wide variety of mobile trends and usage patterns. Japan and South Korea are acknowledged as the most advanced mobile web economies in the world and operators in both countries have been early into the race to build out LTE, as well as using new architectures such as cloud RANs. China and India have the potential to be the largest subscriber bases and just as Chinese 3G build-out protected the infrastructure market from the recession, so Indian 3G and the start of Chinese 4G will provide the biggest growth for several years ahead. Other important Asian mobile economies include Indonesia, which has a rapidly growing wireless base, and many south east Asian countries where the phone will be the primary means of accessing the internet and multimedia content.
