The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
While Ovum observes the market changes taking
place with local players entering the telepresence business, the firm
says western operators are catching up in the APAC region by making
their own moves in China.
Ovum points to the announcement in by AT&T that it would also
extend its telepresence services into China during 2009 by working with
local partners to provide the service, and the announcement just this
month by Orange Business Services that it is upgrading its IP network
in Asia-Pacific, citing video conferencing support as one of the
reasons for the upgrade.
Arole says all this activity in the Chinese market shows that telcos
are trying to maximise their efforts to make the most of the potential
of these markets, and, she says that time will tell whether the
economic downturn will restrict this growth or, “if the emergence of HD
video conferencing will enable enterprises to make much-needed cost
savings to help them through this difficult period.”
