Asia-Pacific added nearly one billion global mobile connections from two years ago - growth that is fueled by rapid economic development in the region, where increased rollout of mobile network infrastructure, citizen prosperity and affordability of mobile handsets have encouraged adoption, according to ABI Research. Less than 18 percent of the three billion connections in Asia-Pacific are 3G and 4G enabled, but that is expected to change quickly. "Mobile broadband connections will experience rapid growth over the next two years, driven by 3G network rollouts in India and China and 4G deployments in Japan and South Korea," said ABI Research Practice Director Dan Shey.
