LONDON, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — North Asian countries lead the fixed broadband market but other Asian nations catching up Download the full report: https://www.reportbuyer.com/product/4657997/ The expansion of broadband was for a long time a phenomenon limited to the developed economies, with narrowband dial-up access being the norm in the majority of the poorer developing countries of the region.
