There are many components of a successful national
broadband plan that are highlighted in this report.
However, certain policies are not conducive to a
successful mobile market. For example, a number
of countries have introduced mobile-specific taxes
that affect adoption of new services, or have failed
to make suitable and harmonised spectrum available
in a timely and effective manner. Addressing
these kinds of issues would help improve the
operating environment for mobile operators and
allow a more productive collaboration between
industry and government. This in turn would have
positive implications for achieving national ICT
goals, particularly in bridging the digital divide and
bringing internet access and a range of new services
and applications to lower income and disadvantaged
groups across the region.
South Korea is a leading example of what can be
achieved through the delivery of a well designed
and implemented national broadband plan, with
the government prioritising digital industries and
the deployment of broadband since the 1990s.
Myanmar is at an earlier stage of its mobile market
development, but the country has made remarkable
progress in recent years in the creation of a national
telecom policy. The government has followed a
transparent and “best practice” process to license
two new mobile operators, as well as taking steps
to reduce the costs of mobile ownership. Both
countries have recognised the potential of the digital
economy as a catalyst for economic growth and job
creation, and have developed national plans to help
realise these goals.
The mobile industry has already had a profound
impact on all aspects of life in the Asia Pacific region,
but also has the potential to play an even more
active role in delivering the digital future. Realising
the full potential of this digital future will require
collaboration between all players in the mobile
ecosystem and broader online world, including
mobile operators and other ecosystem players as
well as through collaboration with governments,
regulators and other industry stakeholders.
