Chinanews, Mar. 28 - Mr. Wang Jianzhang, Director of the comprehensive
planning department of the Ministry of Information Industry (MII), stated
at its annual working conference that MII would study industrial
development strategies for third generation technology (3G) and issue 3G
licenses at an appropriate time this year.
Shanghai National Business Daily reported that the Chinese government
would issue 3G licenses to China Mobile, China Netcom and China Telecom
at an annual rate of 20 billion yuan each, but did not say when it would
happen. Analysts estimate that China would issue 3G licenses in the
second half of this year. However, the most optimistic experts said that
the first 3G licenses might be issued during this year's World
Telecommunications Day.
China is testing three 3G technologies at present, namely CDMA 2000
(U.S.), WCDMA (EU) and China-developed TD-SCDMA. The testing results are
expected to be published in April.
TD-SCDMA standard will become commercialized by the end of June this
year, and China will encourage development of TD-SCDMA products.
