Qualcomm and Samsung anxious of 3G delays in China
October 15, 2003
Top executives from Qualcomm and Samsung expressed their concern over
the stalling commitment of 3G development in China.
Speaking at the World Telecom conference in Geneva, Qualcomm CEO Dr Irwin
Jacobs said although current CDMAone networks are moving ahead quickly,
momentum on upgrading to high speed networks such as WCDMA and cdma2000
is halting.
"There are numerous trials and testing programs, but the impetus seems
to have been lost," said Jacob.
Jacob and Sang Jin Park, executive vice president and general manager
of Samsung Electronics' mobile communications division, voiced disappointment
at the unwillingness of the Chinese government to award 3G licenses and
the lack of timeline indication. Jacob expects the decision won't be until
the middle of next year.
He suggested established mobile operators (China Mobile and China Unicom)
are pressuring the Government to delay the decision, while Qualcomm and
other equipment and handset suppliers are hoping for the process to speed
up.
Sang Jin Park was disturbed at the pace of 3G rollout in European countries.
He said the problem of handsets varieties will be solved when Samsung
enters the market at the end of the year.
Samsung would break into the 3G mobile phone market in Europe in conjunction
with Qualcomm. It said it has agreed with mobile operators in Europe to
supply them with 3G handsets installed with trial mode GSM, GPRS and WCDMA
chips of Qualcomm. The successful trail of the chip in Europe lead to
Samsung receiving several orders for handsets including T-Mobile.
