Asia-Pacific Mobile Market to Boast 42% of World Connections by 2010.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c51506) has announced the addition of Asia-Pacific: Mobile Power Players to their offering. Asia-Pacific is an important region, comprising 37% of world connections in 2005 and increasing to 42% by 2010. Markets range in maturity from those in the earliest stages of development to the most advanced in the world. Operators in different markets are therefore facing different sets of challenges depending on their stage of development, and regulatory and competitive environments. Operator strategies and performance therefore vary across the region. Each mobile market in the Asia-Pacific region is highly individual, with its own regulatory environment, data usage indicators, and competitive dynamic and success characteristics. For ease of analysis, we have separated the markets into four broad groups: emerging, developing, developed and advanced. We have selected prominent power players from the latter three groups.
