No industry has expanded so fast, gained so many new users, added so much value, or spread so rapidly to the underdeveloped areas of developing countries as the telecommunications sector in the countries of the Asia Pacific region. Telecommunications Development in Asia provides a completely new and comprehensive analysis of the policies adopted throughout the region that have led to the explosive growth of this sector. It reviews global best practices across a range of key issues facing the industry and examines markets across the Asia Pacific region through in-depth country studies.

John Ure is associate professor and director of the Telecommunications Research Project at the University of Hong Kong.
