Trends of Asia

3G licence costs for Asian operators are much
lower than European operators
Go after Youth market first to prove untested
technology and services, then move upstream to
business users
Communication service is Lifestyle not Product
MVNO will start to emerge

Trend in Singapore

Younger Generations of Singaporeans are generally
technology savy
But, high PC penetration rate, close proximity to
home and office would explain the relatively
small penetration rate of mobile data services
compared to other countries
Especially when data services incur additional
costs to the user on monthly subscription and
data airtime fees.
