date: April 19, 2002

China could issue more than five new mobile licenses in attempt to develop 3G, chairman of local equipment maker Eastcom said today. Though authority of comments unclear, prospect of increased competition could be negative for China Mobile and China Unicom as market had expected only two new licenses within next two years.

China Mobile has yet to draft spending plans for 3G services, which are unlikely to be ready for the China market in the next two years, according to company chairman Wang Xiaochu. "We believe commercial opportunities for 3G in China will take at least two years to come," Wang said.
