New Report Predicts that 3G Services Will Boost Mobile Market in China

Dec. 23, 2007 - PRLog -- Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has now added a new report showing that China’s telecommunications sector continues to be dynamic across most segments of the market. With the mobile sector still expanding the long-awaited licensing of 3G services is getting closer and is predicted to give the market yet another boost.

“2007 Asia - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband in China”, available from http://www.reportbuyer.com/go/BUD00119, reports that China has the world’s largest mobile subscriber base, passing 450 million in early 2007. The country’s largest mobile operator, China Mobile, is the world’s largest in terms of subscribers and having passed 300 million in December 2006, it was still growing at more than 20% coming into 2007.

The report shows that there still remains a continuing need for major industry restructuring, and there are expectations that the government will take action on this front in conjunction with the issuing of 3G licenses.

Authors of the report say China remains poised to become one of the world’s major next generation mobile players. However, the failure of the government to act has caused considerable consternation in the wider market.

The authors say that by showing its determination to support the locally developed TD-SCDMA platform, it appeared that China would eventually adopt and license all three 3G standards, but that TD-SCDMA would some how be given a head start in the market. By early 2007, it was looking as if China Netcom had been given an ‘unofficial’ licence to start rolling out a TD-SCDMA network.
