InfoWorld - Fewer new Internet users got online in China during 2004 than during the previous two years, even as the number of people accessing broadband connections continued to soar, according to survey results released by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). At present there are 94 million Internet users in China, according to the report. That represents an increase of 18.2 percent, or 14.5 million new Internet users, since January 2004. That number represents the lowest number of new Chinese Internet users reported by CNNIC since January 2002. It reported annual increases of 20.4 million new Internet users in January 2004 and 22.6 million new users in January 2003, compared to an annual increase of 11.2 million new Internet users reported in January 2002. All four categories showed increases during 2004, but the rate of growth for broadband users far exceeded all of the other categories. The number of broadband users increased 146 percent from 17.4 million users in January 2004 to 42.8 million users. The category with the second-fastest growth rate was ISDN users, which increased 16.3 percent from 5.5 million users to 6.4 million users.

(InfoWorld) - A stable economic and political climate and foreign direct investment could drive the implementation of WANs (Wide Area Networks) throughout Asia, especially in China and India, a research report said Thursday. Growth in WAN use will be slow but steady, increasing to $18.57 billion in 2012 from $17.41 billion in 2005, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of just under 1 percent, according to a report by research firm Frost & Sullivan. China and India are driving WAN growth, due to Internet uptake by small and medium-sized businesses and their demand for reasonably priced bandwidth. Foreign investment in those markets, in part due to BPO (business process outsourcing), is also driving that growth, Frost & Sullivan said. The two markets are expected to account for 18.1 percent of total WAN revenue for the region by 2010, the report said. The biggest challenge for Internet service providers (ISPs) offering WAN services will be declining prices and therefore revenue, especially in developed markets such as Japan and Hong Kong. "The overall WAN services market still remains highly price sensitive," Frost & Sullivan said, stating that price declines were eclipsing the growth in demand in some markets.
