Driven by bandwidth demand growth of over 40% per year, the Asia Pacific
region is leading the recovery in the global submarine fibre optics industry.
Much has changed since Pioneers last report on this region:
- Market Consolidation ? The competitive arena has changed. The balance of
power has shifted away from "private" models and back to incumbent consortia
- New Players ? The Chinese are breaking out of their domestic market and the
Indians are grasping opportunities to acquire distressed Asian assets
- Major Capital Projects ? After a drought in 2003-4, capital is once again
flowing into the region for projects like SEA-ME-WE-4 and FALCON
- Regional In-fill ? As predicted by Pioneer, opportunities to construct
feeder systems, connecting secondary markets to the major international trunks
are appearing
- Dwindling Capacity Surplus ? Bandwidth prices continue to decline but at a
slower rate as the bandwidth surplus is steadily eroded by strong demand growth
All these issues and more are addressed in Pioneers 2004 update on the
