Research and Markets: China - Telecoms Market Trends & Forecasts

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a33f4f/china_telecoms_m) has
announced the addition of the "China - Telecoms Market Trends & Forecasts"
report to their offering.

The Chinese telecommunications market is the largest in the world. The
importance of the regulatory regime must not be underestimated in a market like
China, where political and commercial considerations are closely intertwined.
Major efforts in reform have addressed the separation of administrative and
enterprise functions, the dissolution of monopolies and the promotion of
competition in the country's telecom industry. The mobile sector has two of the
largest operators in the world with close to 600 million subscribers by mid
2008.

The mobile industry was continuing its strong run towards end 2008, despite
there still being no announcement on the 3G licensing. By contrast fixed-line
services began experiencing zero to negative growth. Despite this, the Internet
was booming and in early 2008 China became the world leader in Internet
subscribers, surpassing the USA. This report looks at the fixed-line, mobile,
Internet and broadband segments of the market in China and provides scenario
forecasts for 2008, 2013 and 2018 for each of the market segments. The forecasts
are based on historical data from the 1990's considering population and GDP
growth. The projections to 2013 and 2018 consider lower than previous economic
growth in both the high and low forecasts, but are still based on improved
teledensity figures as the government drives forward with economic reform and
infrastructure expansion.
