According to Frost & Sullivan, next-generation technologies coupled with increasing demand for high-quality, seamless broadband connectivity will drive infrastructure expansion and broadband uptake in South Asian markets.
Further, the low broadband penetration and high mobile subscriber base in South Asia is creating a huge demand for mobile network and infrastructure development. This, coupled with the increasing demand for high-quality, seamless broadband connectivity is driving the growth of fixed and mobile broadband services market in this region.
Currently, the fixed and mobile broadband infrastructure market in South Asia is being driven by the roll-out of next-generation technology networks, and telecom operators’ focus on data services.
Frost & Sullivan predicts that going forward, infrastructure vendors can avail of several opportunities for revenue generation. This is largely owing to operators looking to overhaul their networks to support packet-based internet protocol (IP)-based traffic. Further, the government’s initiatives to bridge the digital divide and operator focus on data services will ensure the rapid growth of broadband services.
