Ken Research has announced latest publication
titled National Broadband Plans in Asia-Pacific
Focus on Bridging the Digital Divide to Spur
Economic Growth which discuss scope of broadband
in Asian region. It gives an understanding of the
national broadband plans adopted by the
governments in APAC region. The report analyses
guidelines set under NBPs such as targets,
technology, funding and role of governments as
well as private operators. The report
investigates NBPs in APAC countries. The report
analyses targets, technologies, funding
strategies and role of government and private
sector in achieving the goals of NBPs.

Higher mobile and fixed broadband penetration is
a key ingredient in national competitiveness,
where citizens are given easier and cheaper
access to government services such as education,
healthcare, public utilities, and environmental
management, among others. The National
Broadband in Asia Pacific is very well supported
by ITU institute is responsible for issues
related to Information and Communication
Technologies. There has been a huge change in the
number of users of internet in last 15 years in
developed countries and also in developing
countries. In developing countries there is rapid
increase in number of internet users than in
developed countries. A study revealed that the
spike in mobile broadband adoption in the
Philippines contributes to about 6.9 of the
countrys GDP annually. Countries such as India,
China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam among others
have goals to extend broadband access, while
countries including Indonesia and China have also
defined minimum speed of broadband services in
their respective NBPs.

Rapidly upgrading technology is also one of the
important factor behind improving adoption of
broadband driven by changing preferences and busy
lifestyle. The Philippines Digital Strategy
replaced the Philippines ICT Roadmap, which
retained continuity in the same broad themes
(e-government, cyber-services, human capital,
infrastructure), developed a more in-depth focus,
specifically on the Business Process Outsourcing
(BPO) industry, marginalized communities and
universal service. Asia Pacific comes on the
fourth position from the five sub heads divided
by the ICT. Mobile broadband Penetration levels
are the highest in Europe and the America. Some
of the Brands are also taking initiative for the
National Broadband Campaign Launched by ICT in
October 2011. Huawei and the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) jointly hosted the
first Asia Pacific Exchange on Broadband
Regulation and Policy at the ITU Telecom World
2016 in Bangkok.

• They also released the White Paper on Broadband
  Regulation and Policy in Asia-Pacific Region
  Facilitating Faster Broadband Deployment.
  Speakers at the exchange called for more
  comprehensive broadband policies to guide
  development and speed the rollout of national
  broadband networks, as the basis for growth in
  the digital economy. 
• The integration of digital into
  telecommunications (Digital Conclusion) can serve
  as a gateway to unprecedented opportunities.
  Meanwhile, this integration can also lead to
  various forms of threat that discourages the
  convergence of technologies in telecommunications.
  Therefore, the cooperation at the regional and
  international levels should be promoted to
  support the emergence of effective cyber
  technology and provide chances for people to use
  secure ICT devices and applications.
