Propitious - I agree that China Mobile probably has the most to gain relative to Unicom but it also may be more politically difficult for China Mobile to appear to be giving up on WCDMA before the 3G announcements have been made. MII seems to want to hang on to the possibility of pitting the rivals against each other.

With respect to Unicom, I think they still benefit from GSM1X because 80-90% of their network is still GSM so they preserve that investment. It also allows them to use the investment in GSM as a legacy roaming network for the CDMA users much as Verizon hangs on to analog in US.

Mobile would be nice but I am betting on Unicom. The problem with VOD is both political (like Mobile) and technical. So would say Unicom, Mobile and VOD in that order of probability for GSM1X.
