Print Edition
China will issue 4G licenses by the end of this year as originally planned, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said yesterday.
“The ministry and the State Council are actively promoting this development, and the work is in process,” Zhu Jun, deputy director-general of the ministry’s Department of Telecommunication Development, said in a web-broadcast conference in Beijing.
China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile operator by users, is constructing and testing 4G network nationwide, covering 100 cities and an expected user base of 500 million people. The telco expects the licenses to be issued by the end of this year, which was also mentioned by the ministry.
In Shanghai, China Mobile has invited 1,600 people to test a trial 4G network, according to local branch of the telco.
At the end of September, China had more than 1.21 billion mobile phone users, with 368 million of them using the 3G network, according to the ministry.
In the first nine months of this year, China’s telecommunications revenue was 870.9 billion yuan (US$143 billion), up 8.6 percent from a year earlier. The value of e-commerce transactions totaled 7.5 trillion yuan in the period, a 35 percent jump from a year ago.
