Wi-Fi Services in Asia to Reach Nearly $1.3 Billion In 2010
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., January 4,
2006 -
The market for Wi-Fi services in the Asia/Pacific region, though currently in flux, will grow strongly from US$213.2 million in 2004 to US$1.29 billion in 2010, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). In recent years, service providers in Asia/Pacific have significantly expanded, or have drawn ambitious plans to expand, their hotspot coverage, especially in markets like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and China, the high-tech market research firm says.
“Some telcos’ movement towards Wi-Fi is still in fits and starts, however, which shows the inconsistency of the long-term Wi-Fi business strategy,” says Bryan Wang, In-Stat analyst. “The market is looking for a proven successful business model for Wi-Fi technology to fit into the telcos’ existing voice and data services future development roadmap.”
A recent report by In-Stat found the following: - The business Wi-Fi equipment market in Asia/Pacific will rise from US$498.7 million in 2004 to US$865.0 million in 2010.
- The consumer Wi-Fi equipment market in Asia/Pacific will grow from US$112.3 million in 2004 to US$243.6 million in 2010.
- In 2004, Wi-Fi services moved into the mainstream of a few service providers’ offerings such as Korea Telecom and Chunghwa Telecom.
