China owns the world’s largest telecommunication networks in terms of both network capacity and number of subscribers. One of the core industries of the country, the telecom industry has experienced double-digit growth in the past decade. And the recent move by the government aimed at restructuring the domestic telecom industry has brought around a wave of rapid development and deployment of telecom infrastructure throughout the country, according to “Restructuring and 3G - New Dimensions for China Telecom Sector”, a recent market research report by RNCOS.

The move has ended with three players on the domestic telecom industry, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom. These operators have been planning to invest billions of dollars into the development of world-class telecom infrastructure in the country. This has led to the growing demand for convergence, allowing operators to optimally utilize their existing networks while offering new set of telecom services, such as fixed-line, voice, TV and broadband.

The government’s move to finalize issuance of 3G licenses in the first week of January 2009 is further anticipated to boost investment into the Chinese telecom market. The convergence of telecom networks, digital TV networks, and the Internet, combined with deployment of 3G networks in the country, will create tremendous opportunities for both domestic and foreign players in the telecom service industry.
