In a new edition of their report ‘Mobile Broadband Cards, Routers, Services, and Subscribers’ Infonetics Research predict mobile broadband cards to be an $8.4 billion market by 2013.

Report highlights:

The mobile broadband card market grew 10% sequentially in the first half of 2009, driven by increasing adoption of HSPA and demand for netbooks

Manufacturer revenue from mobile broadband cards is forecast to hit $8.4 billion worldwide by 2013

Worldwide, the number of mobile broadband subscribers is expected to near 1 billion by 2013 (including phone and PC based W-CDMA/HSPA, CDMA2000/EV-DO, and LTE subscribers)

Mobile subscriber growth is being fueled by people seeking basic voice service, particularly in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China), all migrating to 3G, which in turn will drive mobile broadband subscriber adoption

CDMA operators have been quicker off the blocks with mobile broadband, rolling out EV-DO earlier than GSM operators upgraded their networks to W-CDMA/HSPA, resulting in significantly higher CDMA2000/EV-DO mobile broadband card adoption

Between 2009 and 2013, worldwide service provider revenue from mobile broadband services is forecast to more than double

Executive Summary

The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Oil & Gas Sector Of Iraq

The latest Iraq Oil & Gas Report from It forecasts that the country will account for 6.38% of MEA regional oil demand by 2010, while providing 7.63% of supply. MEA regional oil demand rose to an estimated 10.86mn b/d last year and should average 11.08mn b/d in 2007, before reaching 11.91mn b/d by 2010. MEA gas consumption in 2006 was an estimated 373bcm, with demand of 533bcm targeted for 2010. Production last year of an estimated 510bcm should reach 774bcm by the end of the decade. While Iraq should have begun exporting gas to neighbouring Kuwait during the forecast period, it is not expected to make a significant contribution to either regional gas supply or demand over the short to medium term.

For 2007, the revised It forecasts are for the OPEC basket to average US$55 per barrel. Based on last year’s typical price differentials, this implies Brent at US$58.72, WTI averaging US$59.94/bbl, and Urals at US$55. Our central view is therefore that the OPEC basket price will slip from US$55/bbl this year to US$50 in 2008, before settling around US$45/bbl in 2009/2010. Should OPEC defend successfully our presumed ‘target’ price of US$55/bbl during the challenging months of 2007, then it is reasonable to assume medium-term prices may surprise on the upside.

Iraq real GDP growth is forecast by It at 10.2% for 2007, following an estimated 9.1% in 2006. We are assuming 14.7% growth in 2008, 11.4% in 2009 and 7.7% in 2010. We expect oil demand of an estimated 570,000b/d in 2006 to rise to 800,000b/d in 2011, depending on investment in infrastructure and the development of domestic production. International oil companies (IOCs) are in 2007 expected to join production sharing agreements with the state, which should help accelerate the growth in oil output. Based on the efforts of existing contractors and national oil industry bodies, we are forecasting average oil production of 2.15mn b/d this year. December 2006 production was 1.77mn b/d, with more than 1.4mn b/d of exports. Further field reactivation work and the initial IOC efforts point to output of an estimated 3.1mn b/d in 2011. The government has much more ambitious targets, aiming for 0.5mn b/d annual output expansion and a long-tem goal of 6.0mn b/d. However, there are major risks involving attacks on oil installations, Iraq’s OPEC entitlement and the success of new energy policy in stimulating IOC investment.

In the It Business Environment Ranking matrix, Iraq this quarter receives a slightly lower composite score of 34, which now ranks the country equal fifth out of 16 states included in the MEA region, alongside Angola. The overall business environment can be considered moderately attractive in a regional context, thanks largely to huge oil production upside potential and vast untapped oil and gas reserves. A great opportunity exists for IOCs once the political situation has stabilised and production sharing/licensing terms have been agreed. Political and economic risk remains very high, which offsets the positive factors.

Executive Summary

The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Freight Transport Sector Of Malaysia

Shipping has been given a boost since the August decision by Lloyd’s London insurance market to lift the war-risk insurance rating on shipping in the Malacca Strait. The move recognised the ‘fortune’ spent by littoral states on beefing up security, and ensures user states will pay lower premiums. Separately, MISC, Malaysia’s tanker fleet that specialises in oil and LNG, said it was to spend around US$5bn on expanding its fleet. It sees these developments as positive for our Malaysian shipping forecast. Our newlyreleased Malaysia Freight Transport Report concludes that in terms of freight carried, shipping traffic will grow by an average 7.3% per annum in 2007-2011. The total number of containers handled at Malaysia’s ports will grow more strongly at 11.0% per annum over the same period.

This forecast takes into account our view that the global shipping boom will cool in the next couple of years. In fact, Malaysian shipping group MISC, the world’s largest carrier of liquefied natural gas, has said it expects softer shipping rates in 2006 and 2007 but little impact on earnings due to its reliance on long-term charters. In late November MISC reported a net profit for the second quarter to September of MYR682.73mn, up 10.9% from a year earlier due to better petroleum rates and improved profitability in its heavy engineering and liner businesses. Despite the mixed outlook for freight rates the continuing export drive and the dynamism of China and other regional trading partners will underpin strong demand.

Looking across all transport modes in Malaysia, we now expect total freight carried, measured in million tonnes-km (mntkm), to grow by an annual average of 7.3% over the 2007-2011 period. Total road freight turnover is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 6.5% in 2007-2011. The Thailand-Singapore railway link project may be revived. We expect rail freight traffic to perform reasonably well,with annual growth averaging 6.3%. Malaysia scores reasonably well on our overall freight industry business environment ranking. The total score of 43.0 out of a theoretical maximum of 70.0 places it close to the average for the regional peer group (43.6). It is at the top end of the spectrum in terms of expected freight transport growth and also scores well as far as long-term economic risk, transport infrastructure growth and the regulatory and competitive environments are concerned.

All in all, the outlook for the freight industry is encouraging. For the 2007-2011 forecast period, we expect the transport and communications sector to continue outpacing the economy as a whole in value terms. It will achieve average annual growth of 5.5%, versus 5.3% for overall GDP. The total value of transport and communications GDP will rise to US$17.7bn in nominal terms by 2011, representing 7.4% of Malaysia’s GDP.

Executive Summary

Vietnam is in the process of re-integrating into the international community, and as such much of its internal political and social structures have undergone change. Internally, Vietnam’s security situation has come under closer scrutiny from the international community. Vietnam’s new leaders will have to cope with demands for greater respect of human rights. Human Rights Watch has said that at least 80 people were arrested in 2005 for peaceful dissent or unsanctioned religious activity. However, restrictions on religious activities may ease if the Vatican and Vietnam successfully revive diplomatic ties. In Q207 the Vietnamese Government agreed to meet with Vatican officials to discuss establishing a road-map towards achieving full diplomacy. The process may be so rapid that Vietnam and the Vatican could have full diplomatic ties within months.

In 2007, the Vietnamese government announced plans to reform the financial dealings of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA). The move to reform the private business enterprises of the Vietnamese armed forces is the result of it strengthening its ties with other regional armed forces, which has kick-started the move towards a professionalized force. The Vietnamese government decided that the VPA should focus on conventional duties of armed forces. The move is part of the government’s larger policy to consolidate all state-owned enterprises under the control of one umbrella group, and then to sell the stakes off to private investors to generate a steady revenue for the state for the next 10-20 years. Vietnam’s defence spending continues to hover above US$2.4bn, but much of this money is allocated to wages and quality of life improvements. Trends in military expenditure indicate that the Vietnamese government is concentrating its efforts on boosting its surveillance capabilities.

Vietnam’s local defence industry is smaller than that of its neighbours, including Thailand and Singapore and thus faces stiff competition regionally. Encouragingly, in Q207 the International Traffic in Armed Regulations amendment enabled the United States to embark on examining two-way trade with Vietnam on non-lethal defence systems. In the long run this may provide Vietnam with additional export opportunities in the sale of small arms and light weapons.

Executive Summary

The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Oil & Gas Sector Of Iraq

The latest Iraq Oil & Gas Report from It forecasts that the country will account for 6.38% of MEA regional oil demand by 2010, while providing 7.63% of supply. MEA regional oil demand rose to an estimated 10.86mn b/d last year and should average 11.08mn b/d in 2007, before reaching 11.91mn b/d by 2010. MEA gas consumption in 2006 was an estimated 373bcm, with demand of 533bcm targeted for 2010. Production last year of an estimated 510bcm should reach 774bcm by the end of the decade. While Iraq should have begun exporting gas to neighbouring Kuwait during the forecast period, it is not expected to make a significant contribution to either regional gas supply or demand over the short to medium term.

For 2007, the revised It forecasts are for the OPEC basket to average US$55 per barrel. Based on last year’s typical price differentials, this implies Brent at US$58.72, WTI averaging US$59.94/bbl, and Urals at US$55. Our central view is therefore that the OPEC basket price will slip from US$55/bbl this year to US$50 in 2008, before settling around US$45/bbl in 2009/2010. Should OPEC defend successfully our presumed ‘target’ price of US$55/bbl during the challenging months of 2007, then it is reasonable to assume medium-term prices may surprise on the upside.

Iraq real GDP growth is forecast by It at 10.2% for 2007, following an estimated 9.1% in 2006. We are assuming 14.7% growth in 2008, 11.4% in 2009 and 7.7% in 2010. We expect oil demand of an estimated 570,000b/d in 2006 to rise to 800,000b/d in 2011, depending on investment in infrastructure and the development of domestic production. International oil companies (IOCs) are in 2007 expected to join production sharing agreements with the state, which should help accelerate the growth in oil output. Based on the efforts of existing contractors and national oil industry bodies, we are forecasting average oil production of 2.15mn b/d this year. December 2006 production was 1.77mn b/d, with more than 1.4mn b/d of exports. Further field reactivation work and the initial IOC efforts point to output of an estimated 3.1mn b/d in 2011. The government has much more ambitious targets, aiming for 0.5mn b/d annual output expansion and a long-tem goal of 6.0mn b/d. However, there are major risks involving attacks on oil installations, Iraq’s OPEC entitlement and the success of new energy policy in stimulating IOC investment.

In the It Business Environment Ranking matrix, Iraq this quarter receives a slightly lower composite score of 34, which now ranks the country equal fifth out of 16 states included in the MEA region, alongside Angola. The overall business environment can be considered moderately attractive in a regional context, thanks largely to huge oil production upside potential and vast untapped oil and gas reserves. A great opportunity exists for IOCs once the political situation has stabilised and production sharing/licensing terms have been agreed. Political and economic risk remains very high, which offsets the positive factors.
