NSR Drills The Transponder Details For China, Hong Kong, + Macau

NSR has released their newest market survey and forecast report: China Satellite Markets: Assessment of Commercial Satellite Transponder Demand in China, Hong Kong and Macau. This study offers the most in-depth and detailed assessment of commercial C- and Ku-band transponder demand in China available to the industry and drills down into the details of the major market and application trends in the region. The report outlines the many regulatory and market hurdles facing the mainland China market and provides a segmentation of capacity demand between that provisioned by China’s domestic satellite operator and foreign satellite operators serving the country. Further, the inclusion of the Hong Kong and Macau satellite capacity market is a critical facet to the understanding of the overall mainland China assessment because these markets cannot be treated in exclusion of one another. NSR projects that the development of the Chinese DTH market will follow its own unique path, different than has been seen to date in Western countries or parallel markets like India, and should conservatively number nearly 3 million subscribers as of 2013.
