• Malaysia’s current broadband penetration as of end of 2008 is 21.4%.
• Its till lags behind in broadband penetration compared to other more developed nations in
Asia Pacific e.g. South Korea (92.8%), Hong Kong (85%), Singapore (78.5), Taiwan (66%), Australia
(63.7%), Japan (62.7%) and New Zealand (55.7%).
• A high correlation factor of 0.82 is found, which is in-line with previous research studies conducted
by others to highlight the direct link between GDP growth and broadband penetration.

• A correlation factor of only 0.22 is found between broadband penetration and the RFID market
(adoption) suggesting there is minimal correlation between these two parameters.

14. Broadband and RFID Correlation
Possible Factors for Low Broadband-RFID Correlation (Asia Pacific), 2008
• Level of adoption differs greatly between each
Nascent country globally
technology • Sporadic levels of deployment in Asia Pacific -
mostly in the early phases of deployment
More closed- • Mostly closed loop projects, hence does not
require need for broadband infrastructure
loop projects
Leveraging on
• Leveraging on narrowband or other types of
other forms of network for transfer of data
