In my experience, the Chinese government can be difficult to work with, but they seem to have willpower behind their plans. If they say they are going to invest billions in their telecommunications infrastructure, it s going to happen. Aztek Engineering is an international provider of software and hardware for telecom equipment manufacturers. Favor Telecom Co. Ltd. to promote Internet development in southern China. The cooperation between the two companies focuses on Web hosting, Web content and system integration service areas.
China still has a lot of catching up to do, however.
China represents a huge market in volume terms, but in terms of penetration, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are well ahead right now. There s huge demand in Brazil, because they are in the process of deregulating the telephone infrastructure. The speed in which the market is changing is amazing. Teleglobe plans to install additional nodes in Rio de Janeiro before the end of the year and in Belo Horizonte and other locations in Brazil during the first half of next year. The company plans to increase its current network capacity by an estimated 200-fold and provide customers with direct network access from 160 cities worldwide.
