Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Home Networking 2007-2011 Forecast and Analysis

This IDC study provides the updated forecast for the adoption of home networks in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region, specifically focusing on the following six key markets tracked by IDC Asia/Pacific's Consumer Markets Research team ? Australia, India, Korea, the People's Republic of China (PRC), Singapore, and Taiwan ? as well as the rest of Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or ROAPEJ. The study forecasts the number of households with home networks and breaks out home networks by application type, including PC home networks, multimedia home networks, and entertainment home networks.

"The home networking market in the APEJ region continued to gather momentum as more consumers around the region embrace its more practical applications, such as sharing broadband Internet access among multiple PCs or sharing printers and files among PCs. Predictably home networking in mature markets is further along than those in emerging countries around the APEJ region,"says Claudio Checchia, research manager, Consumer Markets Research, IDC Asia/Pacific. He further states,"However, although consumers across APEJ seem to understand the benefits of installing a PC network in their homes, the notion of networked entertainment remains alien to majority of owners of home networks."
