The Analysys Mason report refers to new trends in the sector: New rollouts of 3G and 4G services will take up bulk of mobile communications amounting to more than 46 percent of sales in the entire APAC region by 2016. Improved broadband coverage and connectivity with better bandwidth capability is expected to roll out soon. Huge demand for Internet access will engulf smartphones and mobile broadband devices. Active mobile penetration rates will increase to 95 percent by 2016, 32% more than 2011 figures. 3G infrastructure will prove to be the most dominant mobile technology and more than 41 percent of active SIMs will use 3G. 4G will have little or no impact during this forecast period since devices and networks need to be churned out at affordable rates. LTE rollout delays will affect LTE penetration in the region though it would be higher in China at 7% and in Malaysia at 8%. Interestingly, India, Indonesia and Thailand are forecasted to grow only by 3 percent in LTE implementation. APAC broadband services will become more diverse, with mobile and fixed wireless taking up more than onethird of the entire broadband connections in APAC regions. Broadband is expected to be the most important revenue source for fixed line and mobile operators.
