Collaborative platforms for digital societies in Asia Pacific
Please sign in or register for a free public account to access this report.
In their continued quest to become fully fledged digital societies, many countries across Asia Pacific are increasingly exploring collaborative digital platforms – internet-enabled, two/multi-sided services with at least one side open to the public – to facilitate interactions across all areas of the digital ecosystem, from mobile operators, vendors and governments to consumers, businesses and myriad connected things.
By enabling collaboration within the mobile ecosystem, between industry verticals, or even across national governments, digital platforms enable a connected ecosystem of customers, vendors and third-party players, simultaneously supporting and benefiting from the key components of a digital society. Collaboration is particularly important as we enter the 5G era. As numerous countries in Asia Pacific launch 5G operations over the next few years, a thriving ecosystem needs to be in place to help drive the creation and delivery of 5G products and services.
In this report we examine how both mobile operators and government have a key role to play: mobile operators need to engage with the broader ecosystem, especially in helping innovative start-ups reach scale, while governments must seek to create an enabling environment for such collaboration, encouraging the growth and development of innovative services for the 5G future.

As demand for mobile data accelerates, spectrum policy will play a decisive role in determining whether Türkiye can keep pace with international connectivity standards or fall behind.
The future of road transportation: benchmarking spectrum and regulatory readiness for connected vehicles
GSMA Intelligence has benchmarked regulatory readiness for connected vehicles across 15 markets, using key indicators such as the presence of V2X policies and spectrum allocation for safety and non-safety ITS applications. The assessment reveals an average index score of 84 and a fragmented landscape with different levels of readiness for connected-vehicles deployment. Despite the promising opportunities, significant challenges remain, including those related to connectivity technologies, spectrum allocation, safety, privacy and security. Addressing these issues will require a number of regulatory frameworks to be developed and refined.
Mobile Investment Gaps: Pacific Islands
By 2030, a significant investment gap will remain in the Pacific Islands unless reform is implemented to unlock investment, improve returns and affordability, and remove the barriers hindering adoption and digital inclusion.
