Ovum’s Methodology Ovum conducted an independent assessment and analysis on broadband deployments with specific focus on FTTH activity in the Asia Pacific region, focusing on 16 countries: Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. We analyzed information on the FTTH subscriber bases in each country. We developed FTTH subscriber forecasts based on deployment and investment plans and realistic implementation schedules. We also studied other types of wireline access in each country. We gathered information concerning along FTTH regulatory issues and announcements for each country. Information was gathered from reports, announcements, press releases and interviews provided by regulatory agencies, other government agencies, communications service providers, vendors and investment groups. We have developed opinions on the drivers and inhibitors of FTTH in each country as reflected in our FTTH and household penetration forecasts. We have also developed forecasts for other types of wireline broadband including DSL and cable modem. In addition, we gathered basic information concerning LTE and WiMAX for selected countries.
