Abstract
This IDC study presents IDC's 2005 Skypad Project findings related to key urban
Internet trends in seven markets across Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan), after
interviewing about 4,000 Internet users. Skypad aims to investigate ownership
of key IT and consumer electronic devices, broadband penetration, broadband TV,
as well as awareness and ownership of home networking, home automation, and
media-centric networks.
"While the number of broadband subscribers keeps soaring, consumers are slowly
taking up home networking primarily to share broadband access, files, and
printers," says Claudio Checchia, research manager, Consumer Markets, IDC
Asia/Pacific. "The rise in the number of broadband subscribers, together with
higher penetration of gaming consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras will
drive consumer adoption of media-centric networks."
