Abstract
This IDC study presents an outlook of the Malaysia Internet and ecommerce
industry, and also the future market development from 2008 to 2012.
"Although there is a low broadband penetration rate in Malaysia, the Internet
and ecommerce usage is predicted to grow strongly in the future. The emergence
of wireless technologies such as WiMAX and 3G will provide an alternative for
consumers to hook themselves to the Internet, apart from the conventional
fixed-line broadband. The competition among Internet providers will bring down
the price of Internet accessibility and it will become more affordable to the
mass market. The increase of unique Internet users in Malaysia will create an
awareness of ecommerce and drive Internet commerce spending," says Lincoln Lee,
research manager, Telecommunications, IDC Malaysia.
