Six Months Head Start for China’s Own 3G Standard
May 2, 2006 - source: BWCS
The latest rumours to emerge from China concerning the launch of 3G, predict that China Telecom, the country's largest fixed line operator, and China Mobile, the largest mobile operator in China, will join forces to build and operate a next generation mobile phone network using the home grown TD-SCDMA standard. According to reports on the Asia in Focus website, this could happen as early as July of this year, when the government will issue the two domestic giants with the first licence.
Quoting a respected analyst from China the website predicts that the two telecoms giants will be handed a head start on other companies wishing to launch "traditional" W-CDMA and CDMA2000, 3G networks. It appears likely that China Mobile will also be given a W-CDMA licence in early 2007 while China Unicom will pick up a CDMA2000 franchise at the same time.
The commencement of building work on the TD-SCDMA network is rumoured to be penciled in for September of this year, the article said.
