Here ya go Volts China will keep CDMA promise, Wu Jichuan says (14 September 2000) Minister Wu Jichuan from the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) recently reiterated that China has not changed its policy on introducing CDMA (code division multiple access) narrow-band technology from the U.S.-based Qualcomm. There were previous reports saying that China Unicom, the country’s second largest telecommunications operator, would cancel its CDMA plan. Wu criticized these reports for spreading misleading rumors, according to a Sept. 14 ChinaByte report. "In order to satisfy domestic demand for mobile communications, we must import and adopt the narrow-band CDMA IS 95 technical standard," Wu said. His statement has undoubtedly eased the American company’s concern about being kicked out of the world’s second largest mobile telephone market, the article noted. Currently, there is a common worry that CDMA technology may be outdated. However, industry insiders believe that before the wide deployment of a 3G mobile network in China, CDMA still has room for development for at least five years. There are currently 70 million CDMA users in the world, and the figure doubles every two years, according to a Sept. 13 cn-telecom.com report. China Unicom plans to increase its CDMA users to 10 million. If this happens, China will definitely become the world’s leading market in terms of its CDMA mobile communications, the report said. In Asia, Japan is currently the leading CDMA market, with approximately 10 million users. chinaonline.com
