The Asian market is developing distinct areas of 'leadership' in the adoption of the so-called digital lifestyle adoption -- including Korea which leads in computer gaming, Japan leading video gaming and mobile phone penetration, and Hong Kong which shows leadership in IPTV or Internet Protocol television adoption, said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates.

Among Asian countries, Taiwan and Korea are ranked highest in the digital living index. Asian countries are also more open to using PCs as the entertainment platform.

But what may hinder the adoption of a digital home is the Asians' unwillingness to pay for new entertainment and communication services.
