Business Wire

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/1ae19c/4q09_south_korea_m) has announced the addition of IE Market Research Corp.’s new report “4Q09 South Korea Mobile Operator Forecast, 2009 – 2013” to their offering.

Mobile Operator Forecast on South Korea provides over 50 operational and financial metrics for the South Korean wireless market and is one of the best forecasts in the industry. The publisher provides five-year forecasts at the operator level going out to 2013. They also provide quarterly historical and forecast data starting in 1Q2003 and ending in 2Q2011. Operators covered for South Korea include: SK Telecom Co., Ltd., Korea Telecom Freetel (KTF), and LG Telecom Ltd. The publisher’s Mobile Operator Forecasts are updated quarterly and are available for one-time delivery or through regular updates.

The publisher’s forecasts are based on their proprietary, country-specific forecasting models. These models deploy multiple regression analysis and cross-impact matrices that estimate relationships between subscriber data, technology use and deployment data, overall economic and demographic changes expected in a particular country; and relate these to company operational and financial metrics.

I blogged this because it highlights the possibilities for not only mobile phones, but all the related infrastructure and services around that. As we bring consumers online to mobile technology, can we look at internet enabled hand sets, bringing 3G internet to new markets creating new opportunities and new ways of doing business or using that technology. Related to this with new markets, new user groups, would they need a pc or a thin client using virtualization on any operating system in order to get them online?

Could countries like Korea be the new markets of opportunity for infrastructure, both in terms of a server, or even moving to the next generation data center using virtualization technologies?
