China’s 3G Customer Base to Reach 270 Million
July 18th, 2006Analysys International says China’s 3G-subscriber base will develop in three stages:
2006-2007: With network coverage less than 80% and mainly covering big and medium cities, 3G subscribers will reach 25 million in this stage, accounting for 5% of total mobile telecommunication subscribers in China.
2008-2009: With the network coverage issue being solved, 3G subscribers will expand rapidly to 138 million in this stage, accounting for 25% of total mobile subscribers.
2009-2011: As 2G handsets are eliminated from the market and carriers bind voice service with 3G services, 2G mobile subscribers will be passively upgraded to 3G. 3G subscribers will reach 270 million in this stage, accounting for 38% of the total.
