Despite declining rates of GDP growth, fluctuating currencies and stagnating GDP per capita levels, operators throughout the Asia-Pacific region have been sticking to their overall investment plans. Pyramid Research expects to see operators in developed Asian markets such as Japan, Singapore and South Korea maintain their overall Capex levels. In addition, we believe that operators in emerging markets, with a few exceptions, will stick to their Capex plans, keeping overall 3G investment levels in Asia-Pacific high. Thanks to their continued organic growth, China and India will in fact keep the region’s total Capex growing. These trends play to the advantage of Chinese vendors such as Huawei and ZTE, which we believe will come out of the crisis even stronger than their European and North American counterparts.
