At first, Internet access will only be available for the relatively wealthy city dweller for some time in China. That excludes the 700 million to 800 million Chinese who live in rural regions. Second, the first wave of Internet users in China is predominantly students under the age of 30. This is a demographic that traditionally has little disposable income, so service providers must keep this in mind when assessing their initial forays into the market.
Nevertheless, China represents great potential. The IT, telecom and Internet sectors will be important drivers for sustained economic growth in China over the next 20 years, and the Chinese government is well aware that they can not achieve their economic goals without foreign investment. China will continue to require the technology, entrepreneurial and management expertise from outside its borders to grow and develop its Internet markets. The challenges are great, but the opportunities are greater.
