China gov told compaines to support TD-SCDMA October 28, 2002 A government-backed industry alliance to support China's homegrown TD-SCDMA 3G cellular technology is to be set up this week. Senior government officials and representatives of the country's main telecom- equipment manufacturers, financial institutions and its two mobile service providers - China Mobileand China United - are scheduled to meet Wednesday to establish the TD-SCDMA Industrial Alliance. By gathering together such high-level representatives, the government is indicating it wants to spur broader efforts across the domestic industry to commercialize and support for development of the so-called Chinese 3G technology, TD-SCDMA. China has not yet decided which technology to adopt for its 3G networks but it is likely to adopted at least two 3G standards out of three available. TD-SCDMA is being developed jointly by Datang and Siemens, but the government is also being lobbied to consider WCDMA, the choice of European companies, and CDMA2000, a standard developed by Qualcomm. Nokia has invested heavily to develop WCDMA products, and has been lobbying Beijing to adopt its standard. 3gnewsroom.com
