China - Broadband Market - Overview & Statistics - Document Details

Going into 2008, China’s broadband subscriber population had passed the 65 million milestone. The country had surpassed Japan in 2004 as the market with the second most broadband lines after the US. Amazingly, despite this huge subscriber base, penetration remains comparatively low, meaning there is still much room for growth. The Chinese broadband market is expected to surpass the US and eventually become the world’s largest broadband market. China has already become the top DSL market on the globe. This report looks at the nature of the market, the key players and broadband services, such as cable modem access, DSL, FttH, BPL and wireless access, accompanied by relevant statistics and analysis.
