Ramsey, This is what my memory tells me: Great Wall was to be passed on to Unicom. But later there was the talk of passing it on to a telecom infrastructure company that's owned by the Chinese rail road. I don't think the result was ever clearly stated, and I wonder if there is even a final result yet. Khan

This is the most recent article that a search of the Total Telecom website turned up.... totaltele.com China's Great Wall Telecom To Set Up National CDMA Network RDSL 20 July 1999 Great Wall Telecom, owned by the People's Liberation Army, will extend its trial of CDMA networks in four Chinese cities and will build a nationwide CDMA network. The move follows a ruling by the State Council which overturned an earlier decision to give China Unicom exclusive rights to develop a CDMA network in China. Great wall is testing CDMA technology in Xi'an, Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, all China, using technology supplied by Nortel Networks, Samsung, Motorola and Lucent Technologies. The earlier ruling would have seen China Unicom merge with Great Wall and select 2-3 CDMA suppliers, with Nortel, Samsung and Ericsson considered to be the leading contenders.

Mr. Wu had welcome news, however, for companies selling a new mobile-phone technology known as CDMA, which was developed by Qualcomm Inc. and is sold by Motorola Inc. and other companies. Although China announced earlier this year that it would adopt the new technology, CDMA hasn't spread beyond four test cities and officials have said they met "technical problems" in rolling out the technology. Mr. Wu said his ministry is still committed to CDMA, adding that there is "a process of building and development that must take place." WSJ.
