One-Way Fee System for China's Mobile Phone Subscribers Possible by Year's End

(5/17/99) China's mobile phone subscribers could benefit from one-way
charges on their cellular phones by year's end, said Deng Shoupeng,
deputy director of China's State Information Expert Committee. Deng's
comments, recorded at the 1999 Beijing Summit Meeting, were
reported in the May 14 Diannao Ribao (Computer Daily).

The change the "two-way" fee system for cell phone calls, where both
the caller and the person receiving the call are charged, to a system
where only the person making the call charged, has been a hot topic in
the Chinese press recently.

Early this year, word had it that the change would be implemented
starting August 1. At the April Chinese-US Telecom Summit Meeting
held in Guangzhou, officials from the Ministry of Information Industry,
the agency that regulates China's telecommunications sector, said the
change in billing would be nearly impossible to implement any time
this year.

Even though Deng did not give the exact source of his information, his
recent statement raised eye-brows and hopes that the two way fee
system will soon be changed.
