China Unicom to begin building 3rd-phase of CDMA network this yr - president

AFX - Asia
February 24, 2003

BEIJING (XFN) - China United Telecommunications Corp (China Unicom) will
begin building the third-phase of its CDMA network this year, with a planned
capacity of 13 mln subscribers for the project, the Beijing Morning Post quoted
China Unicom's president Wang Jianzhou as saying.

Wang said each of the company's first and second-phase projects of its CDMA
network has a capacity of 15 mln subscribers.

He said China Unicom will largely develop both its GSM and CDMA networks
this year, and try to make the company's ends meet for its CDMA businesses in
2003.

He also said China Unicom will encourage some provincial branches, especially
in coastal Chinese provinces, to generate more profits this year.

China Unicom and US-based QUALCOMM Inc (NASDAQ QCOM) will start the
world's first trial of GSM1x technology in the eastern province of Jiangsu, which
will allow GSM users to access the high-speed data services of China Unicom's
CDMA2000 1X network and speed up the commercial availability of GSM/CDMA
dual-mode handsets.

The trial, which is being conducted in the city of Suzhou in Jiangsu and
scheduled to begin formal operations in the second quarter, will eventually
enable China Unicom's GSM customers to enjoy roaming services between
CDMA and GSM networks by using a SIM-enabled dual-mode GSM/CDMA
handset.

China Unicom Ltd (HK 0762; NYSE CHU), a Hong Kong listed arm of China
Unicom, is a component stock of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.
