2011 Mobile and Fixed Communications Market Outlook

The mobile penetrate rate in Indonesia is indicative of strong growth potential especially among the emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region over the medium term. The Indonesia market will not be expected to approach market saturation anytime in the near future. Market competition among the telecom operators have driven down the prices of handsets and opened up mobile services to the masses. As more people are owning a mobile phone rather than a PC or laptop as well as the challenge faced by telecom operators in fixed network deployments, the delivery of mobile data services has huge potential in the emerging markets, especially in Indonesia.
