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
Asia Pacific region and transpacific route. In addition, the report provides the
usual country-by-country demand and supply analysis, as well as Pioneers
renowned competitor analysis.
