Asia - Mobile Network Operators and MVNOsLONDON, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Asian mobile subscriber growth begins to subside in larger markets Mobile broadband subscriptions are growing rapidly. While mobile and fixed will always exist in parallel, there is no doubt that with a faltering fixed network and an excellent mobile network, mobile will give fixed a run for its money. However the reality for the success of mobile broadband is that the network will rely more and more on fibre. In the end most mobile stations will have to be connected to a fibre optic network in order to cope with the volume of traffic. Key highlights of the mobile operator market in Asia in 2016 include: China leads the market in terms of total number of subscribers, with its mobile market reaching 1.32 billion subscribers by 2016.
