"Nortel Networks Personal Internet will deliver this network and content intelligence to address the instantaneous access needs of Asian end users, and will help service and content providers in the region meet these consumers' demands for new, customized services and focused content delivery." Delivery of new content is expected to increase in line with the Asia Pacific region's high Internet growth rates, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). IDC expects Internet Service Provider revenue in Asia Pacific to increase from approximately 6.1 billion US dollars in 1999 to 22 billion US dollars by 2004.
