This IDC study presents IDC's network equipment and set-top box (STB) capex forecast for Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ from 2009 to 2013. It features forecasts for nine APEJ markets — Australia, Hong Kong, India, the Philippines, the People's Republic of China (PRC), Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and the rest of APEJ (ROAPEJ) (Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia). Fifteen carriers' activities in the IPTV space are analyzed — BSNL, Reliance, China Netcom, China Telecom, Chungwha Telecom, KT, PCCW, HKBN, PLDT, SingTel, StarHub, Telekom Malaysia, MiTV, TRUE, and CS LoxInfo.

"The APEJ region has metropolitan areas that have achieved high household penetration of broadband Internet and/or cable modem access. These markets are well positioned for broadcast television but most incumbents will continue to invest and upgrade their next-generation network (NGN) broadband infrastructure in order to fully capitalize on the benefits of additional average revenue per user (ARPU) from IPTV services," says Bill Rojas, director, Telecommunications Research, IDC Asia/Pacific. "Over the next five years, the region will see modest-scale IPTV deployments in many metropolitan areas with high broadband Internet access penetration. In metropolitan areas where broadband access lags behind, carriers will look at innovative ways to utilize wireless broadband and satellite broadcasting with IP multicasting," he adds.
