Abstract
This IDC study, specifically IDC Asia/Pacific Telecommunications and WAN Usage
Study, 2007 looks at the requirements of enterprise telecommunications managers
in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. This study analyzes usage
preference and adoption behavior of these enterprises across a range of
industries. Some of the primary issues covered include current and future
adoption behavior, technology, and SP selection criteria.
"A majority of enterprises are now more concerned with price. Our respondents
cited cost as the key factor in selecting a telecommunications SP and the
services that they subscribe to. This trend is the result of diminishing
differentiation factor on connectivity services as most SPs provide similar
services," says Kenneth Liew, senior market analyst, Communications Research,
IDC Asia/' Pacific.
