re: Why does everyone keep talking about a "mystery"

Because it has never been announced or confirmed.

"with industry observers believing this to be Unicom"

Unicom is the easy, obvious answer to the mystery - that mildly informed pundits would naturally prefer.

But does it really make sense? With multimode handsets, why would Unicom be at all interested in spending CAPEX to upgrade its GSM networks to GSM1x? Why not spend it - as it has telegraphed it will - on expanding its 1x networks and upgrading to do? With multimode - the GSM network will work just find for low end services, and give everyone acces to higher level data over cdma.

Are you comfortable taking the conjecture of a faceless group - that has been very consistently wrong about very nearly everything - as gospel?
