Research and Markets: Chinese Telecom Market is the Largest in the World - Key Statistics, Telecom Market & Regulatory Overview

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c62b00/china_key_statis) has
announced the addition of the "China - Key Statistics, Telecom Market &
Regulatory Overview" report to their offering.

The Chinese telecom market is the largest in the world. China is making real
strides in becoming an advanced telecommunications market. With the mobile
sector still expanding at over 15% going into 2009, and the long-awaited
licensing of 3G services completed after finalising of the industry restructure,
the market is poised for yet another boost amongst what is hoped to be a more
level playing field. The importance of the regulatory regime must not be
underestimated in a market like China, where political and commercial
considerations are closely intertwined. Efforts in reform have addressed the
separation of administrative and enterprise functions, the dissolution of
monopolies and the promotion of competition. The government at times takes a
light-handed role, such as turning its eyes away from Xiaolingtong (Little
Smart) PAS encroachment in urban areas, or a stern approach, making challenging
demands on foreign participation in the local market and dictating that
technology such as TD-SCDMA is developed and deployed. The government has also
been severe on its regulation of the Internet. This report presents a range of
key statistical indicators and gives an overall picture of the Chinese telecom
market, including market highlights and the regulatory environment.
