This just in from a new report Pyramid Research, by 2011, China will overtake Japan to become Asia’s largest fiber market, with 25.9 million fiber access lines in service at year-end 2011, versus Japan’s 25.2 million.
According to Pyramid, now that the country has completed its infrastructure “initiative”, is that one of the main drivers behind the rapid rise in fiber is a strong commitment from the government to deploy the technology.
According to Daniel Yu, Senior Analyst at Pyramid Research migration to higher speeds, and thus higher-priced, fiber-optic connections, will ensure continued growth in China’s fixed service revenue.
Ok sure, but here is the number that you need to pay close attention to: The industry as a whole expects to spend $22 billion over the next three years deploying a fiber network, increasing total ports from 20 million to 80 million. That’s a whole lot of investment which means the industry is and will continue to grow. Doors opened!
