CHINA will add 60 million broadband users and 100 million 3G users in 2013 as well as improve bandwidth speed nationwide under the "Broadband China" project, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said yesterday.
This year 35 million users will be added on its high-speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) users, up from 94 million by the end of last year. The ministry will also increase the normal home broadband user base by 25 million to 200 million by the end of this year.
The ministry said 70 percent of all users nationwide will enjoy broadband services with bandwidth of four megabytes per second (Mbps) or above, which provides users higher Internet speed and better web experience, this year.
The increase comes under the "Broadband China" project which seeks to propel the country's average broadband bandwidth capacity in urban regions to 20 Mbps by 2015, five to 10 times faster than the current level.
China, the world's No. 1 telecommunications market, will have over 332 million 3G users this year, up from 232.8 million 3G users by the end of last year, the ministry said. By 2015, the ministry sees 450 million 3G users in the country.
In Shanghai, the average Internet bandwidth hit 4.70 Mbps by the end of the first quarter.
