Ben, Thanks for the article on TLC Mobile Comm (China) and their “interesting “ news regarding CDMA1X deployments in the 450Mhz spectrum. This seemed to appear from “out of the blue”, was anyone expecting this?? TLC is apparently a consulting firm projecting that CDMA subs will increase by 13 million (Unicom which we knew) and another 10 million will be added by China Telecom and China Netcom using CDMA 450. Also, they expect China Telecom and China Netcom to get 3G licenses by the end of the year and transform their CDMA450 to 3G CDMA2000. Was Lodeng (sp) predicting this a year or so ago?

Highlights of your article-

News from the press conference of CDMA1x mobile phones held by TCL shows that the market capacity of CDMA and PHS (personal handy phone system) will be doubled this year.
Moreover, China Telecom and China Mobile are approaching to CDMA and PHS market.

TCL Mobile Communications Co., Ltd, expects that the market capacity in 2003 for newly subscribed mobile phone users will be 70 million to 80 million, 15 million for new personal handy phone users, 13 million for CDMA subscribers, CDMA450 will hit 10 million. China Telecom and China Netcom are both preparing for CDMA450

He expects that China Telecom and China Netcom may gain the 3G license at the end of 2003, now they are preparing for transforming from CDMA450 to 3G.
