for maintenance fees
10Market Analysis Market Size
- The market size is determined by two components
Hotel Industry and the demand for broadband
service in the region. - Demand for Broadband Service
- In June 2007, the internet users of rural China
reached 37.41 million and among the rural
population of 737 million, the Internet
penetration rate reached 5.1 the internet users
in urban areas reached 125 million, with the
penetration rate reaching 21.6. - Over the years, efforts have been made to bridge
the large gap in Internet development status
between the rural and urban parts of China.
Besides efforts has also been done in bridging
the technological gap between the East and the
West. - Many see the need to keep up with IT advancement,
given their improved standard of living, thus
making broadband service provider a very
lucrative business, be it within Beijing, or in
the less developed parts of China.
11Market Analysis Market Size
- Hotel Industry
- China is a big player in the worlds economy.
Being a large country housing a large population
of 1,321,851,888, there would be a large number
of business dealings, both with domestic
businessmen from all over China, as well as with
international foreign business travelers. Hence
there is increasing demand by local hotels to
improve their IT facilities in order to attract
and pull in a large customer crowd. - Statistics from China National Tourism
Administration shows that the total number of
hotels sums up to 400,000, inclusive of 13,378
star level rated hotels. - The prospective clients for the project are
hotels 3 star and below, which makes up 80 of
the entire hotel industry, thus, the maximum
market potential for our business in China would
be a total of 320,000 - The technology used by Innotrek emphasizes on the
easy implementation and installation of Broadband
into hotels. With the large market demand for
Internet access in China, there will be a
potential large market that could be explored and
its already large market is expected to continue
expanding.

Table 1. Internet Usage and Growth Statistics
15Market Analysis Market Growth
- Market Saturation
- The opportunity of window for Innotrek is large,
with the number of 3 star hotels with no
broadband access reaching 1,124 in Beijing. In
addition, with development in hotel industry
within the city of Beijing, more and more new mid
range, economical hotels are built, thereby
expanding its market size. - Statistics have shown, the number of new
star-level rated hotels in 2006 amounted to
1370,an increase of 11.26 from the previous
year. Of which, 298 are five-star hotels, 1,400
four-star hotels, 4,998 three-star hotels, 6,027
two-star hotels and 660 one-star hotels. The
market for broadband installation in the hotel
industry is indeed nowhere near its point of
saturation instead, the market will drive the
companys product towards the growth phase of the
product life cycle. - Beijing Olympics Games 2008, the need for better
hotel service and facilities is projected to
create further upward pressure.
16Market Analysis Market Growth
- Market Saturation
- Innotrek has also the intention of venturing into
other parts of China, i.e., developing parts of
china where there are a bigger number of hotels
with no broadband, as well as a growing demand
for such service. Till date, Innotrek has
business in Hefei, Cangzhou, Shenyang, and many
other cities, and we intend to extend further to
the developing areas in China, where Internet
growth is picking up, and demand for such service
is increasing. - Innotrek also has plans to expand globally,
opening up markets in other developing countries
in Asia, such as Vietnam etc. Figures show
9,013.4 growth in the use of Internet,
indicating the rise in the demand for Internet
services in Vietnam. Such figures are important
in showing the feasibility and potential market
size, hence, its profitability. - With Innotreks patented technology of Innotrek
Intelligent Broadband LAN System, the increasing
demand for broadband installation in hotels and
its large market can even be a blue ocean of high
profitability and sustainability.
17Competitor Analysis
- 4. Competitor Analysis
- The market is in its growth stage and many big
players in the telecommunications industry are
showing their interest in this sector, coming up
with new packages and projects catering
especially to eat into the market share of the
hotel industry. We will discuss the business
competitive environment as well as Innotreks
competitive advantage in this section. - 4.1 Competitive Environment
- The competitive environment consists of big
companies like CNC and China Telecom, which
handles broadband installation of buildings,
including hotels. - These competitors are big players in the
telecommunications industry. To cater to the
emerging demand for internet service in the hotel
sector, they start up a series of internet
service packages for hotels, such as Olympics
Hotels, E-Hotels, and Broadband Hotels. These
projects were targeted at newly built hotels and
upgrading hotels as they prepare for the surge of
business travelers into Mainland China. Their
reputation as a well-known brand country-wide
posed great threats to Innotreks launch of
Advanced Broadband Technology Installation
Service for Hotels into the hotel industry. - These companies, however, focus mainly on
nationwide telecommunications, with broadband and
internet connectivity installation being a small
component of their entire business. They
establish external connection to the entire
building, while the construction of internet
connection within the buildings will be done by
other companies, or their subsidiaries. These
companies are generally smaller in size and their
technology would not have been on par with
Innotrek. Innotrek uses a patented technology
which could minimize instability and it does not
require additional wiring. In fact, such
technology is among the leading few in the world.
Thus, where Innotrek faces competition with
bigger, well-known companies, Innotrek has a
competitive advantage in terms of the quality of
technology provided. Notably, Innotrek can
collaborate with these companies to gain trust
from the potential customers, but such plans are
still in their initial stage.
18Competitor Analysis
- 4.2 Competitive Advantage
- More about Innotreks technology, the system has
also transformed from a point to point
structure to a point to multipoint structure,
which greatly lowers the cost of DSLAM. As there
is no need to do additional wiring, it greatly
reduces the amount of capital we need to invest
in network wiring. In addition, time taken for
construction comparative to ADSL technology is
greatly reduced as well. This thus enhanced the
efficiency of our service, making our technology
more competitive. - Another alternative to broadband Internet
connection is wireless Internet connection.
Wireless Internet allows LANs to be deployed
without cabling, typically reduces the costs of
network deployment and expansion. However, it
constantly faces the problem of network
connection instability and is most susceptible to
breakable privacy encryptions. The most common
wireless encryption standard, Wired Equivalent
Privacy or WEP, has been shown to be breakable
even when correctly configured. In addition,
wireless Internet connection Installation
requires horizontal and vertical wiring, and is
thus not completely free from cabling work during
installation. - To conclude, in terms of technology superiority,
Innotrek Intelligent Broadband LAN System not
only leads in terms of speed of installation, but
also in terms of the quality and stability of
internet network provided. Table 3-1 is a
comparison in the advantages and disadvantages
between different access technologies used by
Innotrek and various competitors in the market.
