Research and Markets: Indonesia Telecommunications Report Q1 2012: Battle Between Mobile and Fixed Services Intensifies

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/455374/indonesia_telecomm) has announced the addition of the "Indonesia Telecommunications Report Q1 2012" report to their offering.

BMI has extended to 2016 its forecasts for Indonesia's fixed-line, mobile and broadband Internet markets. These are based on new data for H111 from the key telecommunications operators and wider market data from Indonesia's regulatory authorities. However, the new 2010 and H111 results were broadly within expectations and BMI has not needed to radically alter its forecasts, other than to take into account new economic data that may affect consumer spending and new mobile and broadband ARPU figures, which show declining spending by customers despite continued subscriber addition rates. This is down to increased price-based competition as the battle between mobile and fixed services intensified. Competition prompted Smart Telecom and Mobile-8 to merge in March 2011 and BMI expects further consolidation over time.

Business Monitor International's Indonesia Telecommunications Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, telecommunication associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Indonesia's telecommunications industry.

BMI welcomes recent initiatives, such as the licensing of VoIP and IPTV services and the announcement of a new accelerated economic development plan (MP3EI) as overdue recognition of the ICT sector's relevance to ensuring growth in a host of industry verticals that are themselves driving economic expansion. Operator-motivated moves to stay ahead of the curve by developing cloud computing services should also stand the market in good stead and improve its position as an ICT hub in the region.

Indonesia reaffirmed its position as one of the more attractive emerging telecoms markets in Asia Pacific after the country overtook India in this quarter's BMI business environment ratings update. Indonesia is off to a flying start, registering real GDP growth of 6.5% y-o-y in Q111, driven by private consumption and investment.
