IP address trends in the Asia Pacific
In recent times, the demand for Internet number resources in the Asia Pacific has seen greater growth compared to the rest of the world.
Not only are large parts of China and India now beginning to achieve a decidedly 1st world existence and demanding the Internet connectivity that a modern lifestyle deserves, but technological leaders like Taiwan, Japan, and Korea are generating significant and increasing demand for IP addresses as a result of their fast-growing mobile Internet services.
This combination of large maturing societies and rapid, cutting-edge technological development has put the Asia Pacific at the forefront of Internet number resource consumption.
