Faster rollout for 3G in China says Panasonic president
November 20, 2003
The introduction of 3G mobile services in China would not suffer the
same slow start as Japan according to the view of Panasonic Mobile Communication
president Yasuo Katsura. In an interview with Nikkei BP, he said, "Third-generation
mobile phone services in China will not experience the same sluggish start
they have had in Japan."
His explanation is that fixed line operators with no mobile network like
China Telecom and China Netcom will work furiously to catch up with current
mobile operators, China Mobile and China Unicom, to rollout 3G mobile
networks.
Katsura believes the help of foreign firms is vital to the success of
3G in China even though he is in favour for the Chinese government authorities
to give domestic firms preferential treatment. Chinese firms have little
experience outside of China and are at a disadvantage. Despite this, he
said domestic firms are catching up technologically and indicated Chinese
mobile equipment manufacturers can become a major player in the telecom
industry.
China will test all three different 3G technologies, WCDMA, CDMA2000
and China's own TD-SCDMA, in the second phase of trials. The government
requires all six operators involved in the trail to test the TD-SCDMA
standard. Katsura's preference is WCDMA because they have already been
used to provide successful commercial services in Japan.
