Hong Kong World's Leading IPTV Market

Broadband service bundling is common in advanced Asia-Pacific markets. Hong Kong is still the world's leading IPTV market, according to the latest market study by Ovum.

Bundling also occurs in some emerging markets, though the extent and nature of service bundling varies considerably across the Asia-Pacific region.

Customers in Asia-Pacific are increasingly purchasing two or more telecommunications services. Apart from fixed telephony, Asia-Pacific customers in the region are heavy users of mobile services, and several Asia-Pacific markets lead in the penetration of broadband services.

- In emerging markets, the prevalence of prepaid services creates problems for traditional bundling strategies. Also, the broadband and content markets are immature but fast growing, and bundling has not yet become important.

- Fixed telephony rather than broadband is often the central product of bundled offers in Asia-Pacific market.

- Quad-play is rare in the region and it is expected to remain the case for some time.

- Overall, bundling is less common and intense in Asia-Pacific than it is in Europe, due to lower competitive pressure from resale and cable rivals.

AI Agents Have Memory. Where is The Security?

Enterprise AI adoption keeps running into the same wall: the moment sensitive data, model weights, or agent memory leave a tightly controlled environment, security teams lose visibility into what happens to them while the workload is actually running. Confidential computing exists to close that gap, and new research from ABI Research shows the technology has matured enough, across CPUs, GPUs, containers, and now agentic AI, to become a foundational requirement for enterprises building sovereign AI infrastructure: computing environments they control end to end rather than simply rent. Protection is Moving From CPUs to GPUs ABI Research finds that CPU-based confidential computing is closest to mass-market adoption, the product of years spent hardening chip-level isolation for general workloads. GPU-based confidential computing is now generating the strongest momentum, and for good reason. It addresses one of the largest unresolved gaps in AI security: protecting data and models while inf...
