• Asia - Online Piracy

  Synopsis

  Asia clearly showing that the old content models and the Digital Rights Management systems are not sustainable for the future. It is not simply a matter of enforcing copyright laws and implementing conditional access technologies. Enforcing copyright might look good on official government papers, and may lead to a few successful police raids, but 99% of the time piracy will continue unabated. While you can criminalise it the simple fact is that hardly anybody actually perceives it as a criminal activity - and that will make it impossible to solve the problem in that way. The culture there is less aimed at personal ownership and more aimed at sharing. At the same time income levels in Asia are such that most can’t afford the moral luxury of content protection. The only long-term solution is not protection but new business models that will allow content providers to generate more revenues from new content and new ways of delivering content.

• Japan - Broadband Market - Overview & Statistics

  Synopsis

  Entering 2010, Japan had over 30 million broadband lines in place, making it the third largest broadband country in the world after the US and China. Much of the success of broadband in Japan is owed to the stunning growth surge that occurred back in 2003 on the back of DSL broadband technology. Other broadband services such as FttH have since attracted even greater interest in the Japanese market. There were over 20 million VoIP customers by end 2009 with Softbank and NTT taking the market lead. Japan has also been an early adopter of triple play models which provide TV, broadband Internet and voice telephony as packaged services from a single provider. This report looks at the nature of the broadband market and the available access methods – including cable modem, DSL, FttH and wireless broadband. BuddeComm forecasts on FttH, DSL and cable are also included up to 2020. Additionally, e-services are examined as these will be a key driver of convergence in the Japanese telecommunications market.

• Japan - Key Statistics, Telecom Market & Regulatory Overview

  Synopsis

  Japan’s telecommunications sector is one of the most active markets in the world. Coming into 2010, the country was witnessing the continued growth of VoIP and triple-play services, and strong competition among the mobile operators in the 3G segment of the market. Especially noteworthy has been the uptake of FttH services (with a corresponding move away from DSL) and the big strides taken in developing digital and mobile broadcasting. The telecommunications regulatory authorities in Japan have been very active in shaping the industry in this country. The control that the incumbent operator, NTT Corp, has continued to exert over virtually all local customers remains a particular challenge for the regulator. In addition, a growing concern has been the development (and lack) of cyber law in a society that is increasingly spending its time online. This report presents a range of key statistical indicators and an overview of the Japanese telecommunications regulatory environment. An analysis is also included on the impact of the historic election win by Yukio Hatoyama’s Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) in mid-2009 which broke a deadlock in Japan’s parliament and ended a half-century of almost unbroken rule by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).

The NTT Group is covered, as well as KDDI, Softbank Corporation, Jupiter Telecommunications, eAccess, eMobile, Willcom and SKY PerfecTV! Communications.

• Japan - Mobile Market - Overview & Statistics

  Synopsis

  Sweden’s high mobile penetration rate is due to the burgeoning 3G sector, stimulated in turn by excellent infrastructure. The market has been enervated by greater consumer take-up for mobile data services as competition has forced down consumer prices. The analogue network was shut down in mid-2007, while the 450MHz and 900MHz frequencies have been switched to digital use to provide a national mobile broadband service, and the 800MHz spectrum is to be auctioned in mid-2010. Sweden is also in the forefront of LTE developments. This report provides statistics and analysis on the Swedish mobile market in 2009, including the key regulatory issues, the growth of mobile data services and forecasts for the 3G subscriber base and mobile ARPU to 2015.

• Japan - Telecommunications Infrastructure

  Synopsis

  Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) began urging domestic telecommunications operators in 2005 to have Next Generation Networks in place by 2007. Japan saw substantial network developments over the following years as the MIC pushed to completely replace the domestic fixed-line telephone network with a fully Internet Protocol (IP) based system by early 2010, at a cost of around ¥50 billion. Although NTT still dominates Japanese telecoms infrastructure, KDDI and Softbank are steadily taking steps to compete more efficiently and effectively with NTT and in the past year have seen a substantial advantage over the incumbent in net additions to their networks. The fixed-line telecoms business in Japan has been undergoing a major transformation as the traditional telephony voice services move into decline. The growing popularity of IP telephony in particular has dealt a blow to fixed-line giant NTT’s traditional business model. This report examines Japanese national infrastructure and international infrastructure (including submarine cable and satellite networks). It also provides an overview of media convergence in Japan, with coverage of CATV, satellite TV and digital terrestrial TV markets.
