After a period of patchy growth following a global economic downturn and a worldwide telecommunications recession, Asia has commenced a healthy consolidation right across its telecommunications sector. The developed economies of Asia have started serious expansion into more advanced networks and value added services, leading the world in many respects. The developing markets are generally starting to move forward in the building of infrastructure and reforming of the marketplace. Not surprisingly, development of telecommunications has varied enormously between the Asian countries from world leaders like South Korea and Japan to some of the poorest and most secretive countries on earth. This report presents statistical tables for each of 35 countries in Asia.
