| Market dynamics
and development models for ICT |
|
The importance of the Asian
region for the industry’s major players
now encompasses a surge in manufacturing and
development activities located there, strong
current growth in its ICT market and the remarkable
success of certain innovations from time to
time. This focus on Asia in the field of ICT
is nevertheless accompanied by a variety of
development models.
As a result China is no longer merely a vast
production facility for telephones, computers
and television sets. As of last year it represents
the largest population of mobile subscribers
in the world, while penetration rates still
remain very low. Japan consolidated its lead
in the launch of new mobile services by creating
a market based on mobiles incorporating photos
and video in just a few months. South Korea
has built up an impressive lead in the broadband
connection and online games markets. Singapore
is often cited as a reference for its e-government
applications. India is a global power in the
field of IT services and a major future market
for telecommunications. Lastly, South Asia,
which is currently the least developed part
of the region, could turn onto its major growth
reservoir over the next few months based on
the catching up it has to do.
The market dynamics mentioned above are naturally
very diverse. Successes are not without grey
areas and weak spots. Beyond these areas of
expertise, they are based on a wide range
of economic models, regulatory policies, cultures
and forms of social and political organisation…

Information
• As in previous years, the
seminar will be based partly on IDATE’s
journal COMMUNICATIONS & STRATEGIES
and partly on the experience of our
members: in spring 2003 the journal
published a call for articles for
a special edition to appear in November
devoted to the topic of the seminar.
In July we were consequently in a
position to select a dozen contributions
achieving a fairly good balance between
the various national markets (China,
India, South Korea etc.) and choose
sub-topics. IDATE will invite some
of the authors to participate in the
seminar.
• The special issue of COMMUNICATIONS
& STRATEGIES and the
seminar related to it are supported
by the:
- ENCIP: European
Network for Communication & Information
Perspectives ; www.encip.org
- ITS: International
Telecommunication Society ; www.its.org
- PTC: Pacific Telecommunication
Council ; www.ptc.org
