Mobile Internet market in China and India are growing faster than all

Researchers at ABI Research data on market share of mobile Internet in India and China. In 2012, in the VAS-income countries, the operators of the mobile Internet will take 19% and 25% respectively, which is high in emerging markets. However, to the most advanced places in the region - Japan and Hong Kong - it is far: there is the mobile Internet is 40% and 44% in VAS-income, respectively. According to ABI Research senior analyst Aapo Markkanen, a place in the ecosystem services of Internet access, employed at an early stage, can play a positive role for the operators - this will allow them to gain an advantage in comparison with traditional Internet service providers.

For example, the operator Telkom in Indonesia in cooperation with Korean operator SK Telecom offers its customers a music streaming service, which received the same popularity as well as at home, in South Korea. At the same time, the operator XL Axiata in collaboration with the provider of cloud solutions, promotes cloud platform and provides users with smart phones to more advanced applications than are sold in specialty stores.

One way or another in an aggressive policy to promote the operators of these services has its own risk. At a time when the market is poorly developed and the yield is low, they need as soon as possible to migrate to new technology (from 3G to 4G) in order to minimize the cost of services and costs. According to the vice president of ABI Research forecasts Jake Seundersa, enthusiasts, who became the first owners of smartphones, as usually generate much more traffic than ordinary users, and that is why operators need to understand that investing in the early stages would be great, but then "appetite" users are reduced. That's why you need to plan investments in accordance with the model of "first user will not be enough and a lot of traffic, but in the end there will be many users and small (on average per user) traffic."

Chinese bloggers banned the use of pseudonyms

Beijing authorities have adopted new rules for blogging - now every user must be logged in social networks, only under his real name. Under the new rules, users of the popular microblogging site in China, Weibo - analogue Twitter - will be required to re-register all your accounts within three months. Those who refuse to give their real name when registering or re-registration will not be able to publish their writing online. While these rules apply only to sites that are registered in Beijing. At this step the Government has gone against the background of growing criticism of the Chinese authorities on the Internet. Private blog posts have often censored. The administration Sina reported that the accounts of users of the site, placing the "false rumors" will be frozen. According to the specialist in the field of mass media of the Chinese Academy of Social Research Zhuyshenya Liu, recently Weibo users increasingly use the service "to spread rumors." "Registering an account under this name has not yet been implemented everywhere. This anonymous and irresponsible use of the network helps inflate the rumor," - he said. New regulations come into force immediately after its publication in the official news portal in Beijing, so far are valid only in the capital, and to perform their required only providers and sites that were registered in the city. However, these are two most popular service Weibo - Sina and Sohu, which uses more than 200 million people in China and abroad - and they will be forced to enter a registration under real names. The third service is registered in Shenzhen Tencent in the south, where the new rules do not apply. Experts say the discontent of the authorities, in particular, led the discussion on social networking events around the village Ukan. Riots in the town with a population of about 10 thousand people began in September after local authorities have sold land to developers, without paying compensation to residents in the proper amount. After that, the people revolted and expelled the representatives of the authorities. In response, the police took the village under siege, ceasing delivery to Ukan food and other essential goods. In mid-December, the situation escalated in the village again, after rumors spread among the residents that the police killed one of them. Many experts call these events the most significant unrest in China in 2011.
