Review Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Home Networking 2004 Review and 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis / IDC Research:This IDC study examines the growing home networking market in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ region. The concept of networking one's home has slowly been getting more attention in APEJ households driven by the confluence of three factors: the steep rise in the number of residential broadband subscribers, the steady increase in multiple PC households, and the rapid increase in popularity of notebook computers among consumers. "Technology adoption has always been driven by applications, and home networking is no different. Throughout the forecast period, data-centric applications will drive PC networks to remain the dominant type of network installed in APEJ households," says Claudio Checchia, research manager, Consumer Services and Devices program, IDC Asia/Pacific. He further states, "However, by the end of the forecast period, IDC expects entertainment solutions and media-rich content to rapidly gain in popularity driving adoption of multimedia and entertainment networks across the Asia/Pacific region.

Review U.S. Prepaid Phone Card 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Risks and Opportunities Post-Acquisition of AT&T and MCI / IDC Research:This IDC study analyzes the U. S. prepaid phone card market by sizing the complete prepaid revenue opportunity today and growth potential in the next five years. Using primary IDC research and secondary market data, this study provides key industry metrics detailing prepaid card penetration, usage, consumer demand characteristics, service provider market share, and growth trends. This study also analyzes competitive strategies of leading prepaid phone card providers. "After a decade of rapid market expansion, future growth in the U.

SBC's and Verizon's respective acquisitions of AT&T and MCI during the first quarter of 2005 will further shake up competition in the prepaid phone card market. To survive, service providers must learn how to extend existing consumer relationships to gain a bigger share of the consumer prepaid budget. [+]

Review Western European Home Computing: What Will Drive The Next Wave of Consumer Spending? / IDC Research:The Western European consumer personal computing market has undoubtedly enjoyed a healthy uplift over the past 12 months. Regionalized economic factors and consumer market conditions have combined with an overall rebound in the PC market and rapidly declining average street prices to drive a consumer PC sales resurgence. The consumer PC market currently accounts for close to 40% of PC shipments in Western Europe, so its importance cannot be underestimated. Growth has been driven by booming notebook sales to home users as consumer electronics convergence fuels high levels of interest in the market surrounding new and exciting consumer technologies. Currently accounting for 36% of PC shipments, notebook sales will account for 53% by 2008. However, the desktop will remain at the heart of home digital entertainment. The retail channel has played an extremely important role in driving down prices, fuelling competition between the A-brands and white-box vendors. The development of Media Center oriented machines and the transformation of the desktop PC into a set-top box provide important considerations for future growth. "As the lines between home computing, mobility, consumer electronics and digital entertainment become blurred, vendors must seek to make their consumer computing messages as simple and coherent as possible, while at the same time ensuring that they are offering an attractive and price-competitive proposition to the end user," said Ian Gibbs, a senior research analyst with IDC's European Personal Computing Team.
