Re: Asia Broadband Stats: MSO's in China

Thread- Some pretty amazing figures I ran across while doing DD. These seem to correlate so closely to the stats I posted(who wrote) that I think it's the same source. So don't bet on it's accuracy. Nonetheless, I still get a kick out of the figures. Like in the mobile wireless world, the US may not be king as our financial press tends to paint it is. -MikeM(From Florida)

...The Information Network Center, a state-owned[China] organization operating under the authority of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), will operate a SDH fiber network initially linking 19 provinces and major cities across China and expects to expand to full national coverage. The platform will deliver enhanced TV and broadband services directly to cable subscriber homes nationwide. The network is scheduled to be operational by third quarter of 2000. The Information Network Center is the sole organization given authority by the central government to unify technology used by cable TV systems and to facilitate delivery of programming between cable systems within the national network.

According to SARFT, China has 1.6 million miles of cable within the government-controlled cable TV network. In April this year, SARFT officials disclosed that as of February 2000, there were 80 million cable subscribers and 264 million TV homes in mainland China. By 2001, when restructuring is complete, SARFT forecasts that cable subscribers will reach 120 million.
