China will own the biggest share of broadband per household in Asia throughout 2010, while Japan and South Korea are expected to lose shares gradually, consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers has forecast.

In 2004, China owned 40 percent of overall broadband households in Asia Pacific, while Japan and South Korea accounted for 27 percent and 21 percent, respectively.

In 2010, China will gain shares to 60 percent. Japan and South Korea, however, are expected to lose ground, to 21 percent and just seven percent, respectively, PwC predicted.

Other areas, such as Australia, Taiwan, Malaysia and Hong Kong, only make up a small share of overall Asian broadband household, either in 2004 or in 2010, according to PwC.
