We strongly believe that the technological developments announced here today will provide the basis for a future of faster, easier and more cost effective mobile telephony services.
With the expected launch of 3G (third generation) services, we believe China will enter a new era of mobility and will play a significant role in the global market.
China currently has 380 million mobile subscribers. We believe that by 2010, China will have added another 250 million mobile subscribers, making it the single largest mobile market in the world.
