chapq, Lots of info in that Unicom article including GSM1x

It appears that from here on out Unicom’s focus will be on their CDMA network including moving it’s GSM customer base to CDMA with GSM1x.

Snips>>>>>>

the number of CDMA (code division multiple access) subscribers stood at 22.56 million by May 5.The numbers will make China Unicom the second-largest CDMA operator and the third-largest GSM operator in the world.

The company added an average of about 1 million new subscribers on its CDMA network every month in 2003, but the monthly average in the past four months was less than 900,000

the company, stressing it would now focus more on servicing current subscribers instead of solely pursuing an increase in users

The other major project for China Unicom will be to finish the construction of the third phase of its CDMA network in June or July, ....capacity of 70 million lines and cover all cities and 97 per cent of towns in China.

GSM1X

China Unicom will launch its GSM1X service in July,

Unicom has decided to order GSM1X mobile phones from South Korean firms Samsung and LG, as well as the US company Motorola,

.Shang believes there will be high demand for the service

He said the price of GSM1X phones will be about the same as GSM phones on the market, so price won't be an obstacle.

It will improve the lower coverage of CDMA network and attract GSM users to the CDMA network,"
