    See page 24 for analyst certification and important disclosures, including non-US analyst disclosures.J.P. Morgan does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that the firm m

    have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should consider this report as only a single factor in making th

    investment decision.

    EM-benchmarked investors should increase weightings in Telcos asmarkets roll over, and as Asia ex-Japan Telcos have traced only 66% ofthe worst 10 EM market corrections. Key stock calls for this phase areChina Telecom and Axiata.

    The next phase will require different stocks to outperform EMindices as Asia Telcos only produce 65% of the ensuing median EMmarket rally. We believe stock selection will be critical. Beaten-downopportunity stocks include Tulip Telecom, Indosat, AIS and DTAC,and Unicom. The strongest earnings revisions stories include ISAT andDTAC.

    DM vs. EM: Japan, the US, and Developed Europe are the clearoutperforming regions within global Telcos (all close to their highs),with EMEA having he worst hit (-12% peak to trough, driven by eventsin Egypt), followed closely by Asia ex-Japan (-5%) and Latin America(-4%). Wed note that EMEA has also seen the largest earningsdowngrades (so therefore little P/E compression), but it has seen themost EV/EBITDA and P/BV compression within Global Telcos.

    For more detail on our thoughts regarding Telecom factor exposures,please see our recent report Whats Working in Asian Telcos. For moredetails regarding Asia vs. EM corrections, please see Adrian Mowatsrecent report The Fastest Fall 3rd Encore.

    Investment SummaryIncrease weightings in Telcos during the market correction,stock picking during the rebound

    Per our recent report Whats Working in Asian Telcos, investors generally appear to

    be underweight the Asian Telecom sector, happily holding 1-3 names that are

    performing, with little interest in bottom ticking underperforming stocks. We

    suggest an increase in Telcos weighting during the current market correction, with a

    move to a more aggressive stock picking stance required to outperform once markets

    turn.

    Not surprisingly, Asian Telcos have generally outperformed Emerging Market

    corrections over the past 20 years. Below we list the 10 worst EM corrections aswell as statistics for the current correction to show Asian Telco performance relative

    to MSCI EM. In general, Asia ex Japan Telecoms have avoided around 1/3 of the

    retrenchment suffered by the broader EM index.

    We have profiled in recent reports the fact that nvestors appear to be riding their

    winners in the Telco space YTD, with price momentum the only meaningful positive

    factor exposure in January, per the chart below.

    These facts taken together argue for an increase in weighting in Asia ex Japan Telcos

    for investors following EM benchmarks. The current trading environment (riding the

    winners with little incremental new exposure, no bottom ticking at all) suggests that

    PCCW, China Telecom, and Axiata are the stocks best positioned to allow

    outperformance for EM-based investors during the current market correction.

    A very different strategy will be required once markets begin to turn, however, in our

    view. Per the chart below, Asia ex Japan Telcos have only delivered 65% of the

    ensuing market rebound post the worst 10 previous EM corrections. Investors will

    likely need to move away from Correction Winners and take a more active stock

    picking approach in order for their Telecom exposure to add to overall

    outperformance of EM mandates.

    We suggest a two prong approach. First, take advantage of opportunities created by

    the recent market drawdown. The figure below lists stocks that have a) fallen

    significantly, b) also seen earnings multiple compression (i.e. the drawdown was not

    negative EPS revision related), where c) we are fundamentally positive on the

    companies in question. Our top picks in this category are Tulip Telecom, Indosat,

    Unicom, and DTAC.

    Tulip Telecom Malvika Gupta

    Latest published research:- Tulip Telecom: Improving revenue and margin trends

    - Tulip Telecom: Data centre acquisition positive for diversification

    Description of recent share price action - what has happened, whyThe share price has outperformed a weak Indian market over the past 3 months by

    ~6%. We believe improved international visibility and expansion of addressable

    markets to services is helping here but misplaced concerns about competition from

    BWA wireless players like Reliance Industries have gated further outperformance.

    At 4.5 FY12E EV/EBITDA, a 15% discount to its one-year history and ~35% to the

    rest of our coverage universe, we believe TTSL is attractive at current levels.

    Catalyst for performance in the next 6-12 months, either events, earnings,

    valuations, etc.We believe the below would act as positive catalysts for the stock:

    Announcement of a strategic investor in Tulip's new data centre business

    FY12 guidance from the management being ahead of estimates

    An exit from the broadband wireless access JV at a profit

    More aggressive business mix shift toward EDS and within that fibre

    Latest published research:- Indonesian Telecom: 4Q10/Fy11 Preview: All about execution

    - Indonesian Telecom Equity Strategy: Sifting through for opportunities

    Description of recent share price action - what has happened, whyYTD the stock is down 9% while the JCI has declined by 8%. Over last three months

    ISAT declined by 14%, underperforming the JCI index by 7%. Expected weakness in

    4Q10 results, due to a combination of holiday timing and pricing issues, was the key

    driver behind the underperformance. The market is well aware of weakness in ISAT's

    4Q10 and we believe 2011 expectations to be the price driver from here on.

    Catalyst for performance in the next 6-12 months, either events, earnings,valuations, etc1.Margin revisions in 2011: We forecast 189 bps margin upside to Street driving

    6%/10% upside to EBITDA and EPS. ISAT's cost efficiency measures enabled it

    to drastically reduce n/w OpEx/min in 2010 (down 35% in 3Q10), and we

    forecast a 27% decline in 2011.

    - Thai Telcos: 4Q10 Preview: Strong 4Q10, concession conversion claimsremain key overhang

    Description of recent share price action - what has happened, whyYTD the stock is down 2.3% while the SET declined by 8.2%%. Over last three

    months DTAC declined by 6%, performing largely in line with the SET. DTAC had

    strong results in 2010 with a recurring income growth of 60%. But 3G delays and

    news flow regarding concession damage claims remained to be an overhang on the

    stock price.

    2011 EPS.

    2.Special dividend: DTAC's debt covenants currently limit its payout ratio to 70%,

    and with strong cash flows there is a possibility of a special dividend if the

    company manages to increase its payout ratio.

    key.

    Description of recent share price action - what has happened, whyYTD the stock is down 4.7% while the SET declined by 8.2%. Over last three

    months AIS declined by 11%, underperforming the SET by 6%. Concession damage

    claims and investor neglect for the sector on the back of 3G delays have been the key

    overhangs on stock price performance. AIS's recurring income grew by 24% in 2010;strong results are already in Street expectations and we see multiple re-rating to be

    the stock price driver from here on. News flow regarding concession damage claims

    should remain to be an overhang on the stock price.

    China Unicom Lucy LiuLatest published research

    - Asia Telecom/Internet Strategy: The iPhone impact: not what you think...

    - China Unicom: Contract customer growth bolded well the LT revenueoutlook

    Description of recent share price action - what has happened, whyChina Unicoms (CU) share price has risen by 20% YTD and outperformed HSI and

    MSCI China by 23% and 26%, respectively. In our view, the recent share price rally

    was mainly driven by (1) investors' improving sentiment on the growth prospect of

    CU's 3G business in 2011 on the back of recent upbeat numbers of 3G monthly net

    adds; (2) the speculated upbeat outlook for 2011; (3) fund inflows into defensiveplays amid growing concerns on macro uncertainty.

    Catalyst for performance in the next 6-12 months, either events, earnings,valuations, etcDespite the recent outperformance, Unicom remains our top pick in the space in the

    next 6-12 months, and we believe further upside would come from:

    a) Expedited take-up of 3G with ARPU support.

    We argue that one unique issue for the Chinese telcos which we will continue to

    observe in 2011 is the high correlation of share price with the topline trend. We

    believe the market has yet to fully factor in the 3G subs growth potential of CU while

    the company is likely to give upbeat 3G subs guidance (likely to be 25-30mn netadds in 2011) during their March results, which should be positive for the share

    price. As CU has the highest contribution from 3G handset users and CU's 3G ARPU

    is 2-3x higher than 2G ARPU, we believe the stability of blended ARPU will be

    further underpinned by the mix change towards 3G handset users. In 2011, we expect

    CU to turn more aggressive in gaining 3G handset subs and 3G revenue market

    share. Although this should inevitably come at the expense of higher opex cost and

    thus erode EBITDA and net profit, the market will perceive any upside surprise for

    3G subs growth as positive despite its resulting downward revision on earnings, in

    our view. Moreover, we see high likelihood for CU to change the accounting policy

    to match the revenue and handset subsidies better, and therefore ease the near-term

    pressure on bottom line.

    b) Data revenue should grow faster helped by better mass market smartphone sales

    and content improvement in China. We believe CU's value chain advantage in terms

    of both 'thousand RMB' smartphones and high-end smartphones (iPhone) positions

    the company well to leverage on the trend of growing its VAS revenue.

    c) Free cash flow (FCF) position of CU should improve thanks to more upfront cash

    deposits paid on bucket plans. According to CU, contract customers made up almost

    40% of 3G net adds in December, up from 5% in 1H2010, 19% in 3Q10 and 30% in

    October. As we expect up to 50% of 3G net adds will be contract users in 2011, the

    FCF position should be further strengthened.

    d) CU now trades at around 5x 2011E EV/EBITDA and 4.6x 2012E EV/EBITDA,

    which we believe is reasonable vs. the regional telcos. Key positive catalysts in our

    view include upbeat 2011 guidance in March and the improvement of monthly subs.
