  • The ICT Landscape in the PRC Market Trends and Investment Opportunities
    33188 Public Disclosure Authorized The ICT Landscape in the PRC Market Trends and Investment Opportunities Public Disclosure Authorized FINAL REPORT Public Disclosure Authorized MARCH 2005 Public Disclosure Authorized Preface Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) are increasingly an important tool for supporting sustainable development and economic growth in developing markets. By embracing communications at unprecedented rates, people around the world have demonstrated their appreciation for the contribution of ICT to the betterment of their lives. It took 113 years from its invention for the fixed telephone to reach ten percent global penetration. It took 15 years from its invention for the mobile telephone to reach the same penetration, and ten percent of the World’s population are now Internet users less than twelve years after the birth of the World Wide Web. China’s growth story, for ICT companies specifically, has been astonishing. China, often referred to as the “factory of the world” has traditionally had a strong manufacturing base, including a core focus on the electronics industry. In addition, in the past 10 years, we have seen an explosion of the mobile phone population to over 300 million subscribers, larger than any other country in the world. Further, the country’s total number of Internet users has surpassed 90 million subscribers. Historically, sectors such as electronics manufacturing and mobile communications applications have enjoyed the benefit of growth, while we can already see new nascent sectors come up including media driven business, broadband applications and cutting-edge IC design houses. While much of the growth in the ICT sector has been funded by foreign investments, mainly through the private and public equity markets, it is anticipated that many sectors require substantial and ongoing funding.

  • China's Technology Protectionism and Its Non-Negotiable Rationales
    China’s technology protectionism and its non-negotiable rationales Martina F. Ferracane & Hosuk Lee-Makiyama China’s technology protectionism and its non-negotiable rationales by Martina F. Ferracane and Hosuk Lee-Makiyama Research Associate and Director respectively of ECIPE China’s technology protectionism and its non-negotiable rationales Martina F. Ferracane & Hosuk Lee-Makiyama 1. INTRODUCTION: CHINA’S DIGITAL DILEMMA With more than 700 million internet users, a foreign exchange reserve of 3 trillion USD, leading manufacturers like Huawei and Lenovo, and the emergence of online services like Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, China has all the components to become a global player in the internet economy. Yet it is not. Although the Chinese economy is overall more open since its accession to the World Trade Organisation in 2001 and its entry into the open trading system, there are still important exceptions: The internet economy and the ICT sector are but an intricate web of regulations which are increasingly tightening. China is in a dilemma China imposes more trade and investment bar- the Roman historian riers, discriminatory taxes, and information se- curity restrictions than any other country by a Livy famously described vast margin. Moreover, China’s legal and techni- as «unable to neither cal infrastructure for online censorship remains pervasive and blocks not just politically sensitive bear its ills nor its cure».” content, but also the majority of foreign com- mercial platforms and intermediaries. China’s rationale for these restrictions is increasingly complex, and not merely about shielding the coun- try from security threats or foreign competition. In some cases, restrictions are deemed necessary to defer challenging reforms: The Chinese economy is constantly on the verge of market failure that is avoided through government interventions and short-term restructuring.

  • China CDN Readiness Checklist V1
    China CDN China Internet Expert Readiness +1 213-239-8878 Checklist Overview When looking to successfully launch a service into China, it is important to keep in mind that China’s Internet is a unique network operating within the China Firewall. Internet in China is connected internally and to global carriers by Chinese Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and governed by the laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China. China Telecom is the largest ISP both in China and around the world. Although no longer a monopoly, China Telecom is joined by relatively few major carriers, with China Unicom (formerly China NetCom) and China Mobile being the only two other major providers. While foreign companies dominate global Internet, China has a thriving local services market delivered to users from local data centers by the major ISPs. For foreign hosted services, all traffic must enter Mainland China through a limited number of international gateways - all of which are filtered by network equipment commonly referred to as “China’s Great Firewall” or “The GFW”. As IP addresses are often shared by service providers (especially in the case of cloud providers), the default mechanism used to filter content is to scan the domain names and URLs for banned keywords or pre-identified problematic companies/providers, and deny those addresses. As such, a significant part of preparing to enter into China is to consider how your operations will look. How are your domain names currently used? What content will they be delivering? How will the China government perceive the business you are operating within the country? This document aims to provide a high level checklist for working through and integrating a China CDN into your service delivery plans.
