2008-09-30 18:58:54 - Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report which forecasts that 3G will soon be issued in China, and analyses the major issues affecting the country's mobile market.

The report,'Telecommunications Market Restructuring in China and Competition over 3G Services', which is available at www.reportbuyer.com/go/ROA00038 addresses key issues surrounding 3G services, market competition and the positioning of players in the future as well as the tasks of the Chinese government to promote 3G services.

Authors of the report say that early this year, the Ministry of

Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance in China jointly announced the long-awaited telecommunications market restructuring plan named Announcement on the Reform of the Structure of the Telecommunications Sector.

According to the official announcement, the six telecom companies in China will merge into three integrated companies, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom.

Analysts say that It is generally expected that the issuance of 3G license will be possible at the end of this year or beginning of next year when the restructuring process and mergers are over. It is a foregone conclusion that the government will issue TD-SCDMA license to China Mobile, WCDMA license to China Unicom, and CDMA EV-DO license to China Telecom, says the report.

This publication focuses on identifying the major and current issues in China's mobile market which will be restructured into three players according to the government policy, as well as provides an analysis on the market after the restructuring.

The most important issues are the growth potential of TD-SCDMA that China has been pursuing, and the possibility of CDMA's revitalisation after the technology is allocated to China Telecom.

'Telecommunications Market Restructuring in China and Competition over 3G Services' is available from Report Buyer.
