Chinese military to hand mobile networks to Unicom BEIJING, July 13 (Reuters) - China has ordered the military to surrender control of its commercial cellular telephone networks and hand them over to China United Telecommunications Corp, a senior official said on THursday. The order, yet to be implemented fully, strengthens China United Telecoms, the state-owned parent of recently-listed China Unicom Ltd <CHU.N> <0762.HK>, by giving it control of a former competitor. "All mobile network businesses will be transferred from the military to China Unicom," said senior Ministry of Information Industry official Jiang Shaobing. While the military-run networks are small, the move may boost the fortunes of San Diego-based Qualcomm <QCOM.O>, which earns royalties and revenues on the CDMA standard the networks use.
