The key focus of the Industry Analyst Forum was for Ericsson to share its vision and strategies around mobility, and in particular, mobile broadband (MBB), with an interesting focus on the world's largest market, China. The demand for broadband is growing around the world; however, in densely populated and rapidly developing markets such as China and India, fixed broadband penetration is still very low. With Asia/Pacific providing the largest growth opportunities for mobility in the world, Ericsson has a firm commitment to MBB, with a variety of solutions on offer for mobile operators, enabling the desired mix of performance and affordability. </description><pubDate>Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Japan IPTV Services 2009–2013 Forecast and 2008 Review</title><link>http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=JP209405S</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?pid=23571113&amp;containerId=JP209405S</guid><description>This IDC study, which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J9040104, presents the current environment surrounding the Japan IPTV service market and the latest market trends and forecasts.
