The report sums up the development of the global and Chinese broadband service markets in 2004. Through accurate data and full elaboration, it presents the structure of China's broadband service market, development status of broadband application and competition between leading broadband operators in the market from various angles. Meanwhile, it also presents assessment of leading broadband operators' competitiveness.
The report especially points out the following: China's broadband service market grew in 2004. Broadband subscribers exceeded 20 million in this country. Among others, the number of broadband subscribers has topped 2 million in both Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces.

Nevertheless, the substantial growth of subscriber base did not bring prosperity for the industry. Broadband access charges still occupy a major percentage in the total revenue in the broadband industry. The focus of the market is gradually shifting toward broadband content and broadband application. By teaming up with upstream and downstream enterprises, broadband operators are leveraging their resources to build an industry chain. Thus, a broadband industry chain that covers equipment vendors, broad operators and content providers is taking shape.

After analyzing major factors affecting the development of China's broadband service market from 2005-2009, the report presents qualitative and quantitative forecast of the development trend of the market. Finally, it provides development strategy recommendations for broadband operators.
