Global Internet Usage - 2008

Some notes from TM's perspective with regard to the Internet usage:

• Capacity demand is fueled by demand for IP-based services and bandwidth hungry applications – more “FAT” pipes
• Consumer Internet usage is shaped by the ever increasing use of video streaming and peer-to-peer applications. The lack of domestic content in most countries will further accentuate this behavior

• P2P singularly contributes to 45% of internet usage
• Peer to peer overtook web in 2000
• Video contents is to overtake Peer to Peer application in 2010

• This global trend is also seen in the Malaysian market specifically for the TM users of broadband
