Unicom to Slash CDMA Handset Prices marbridgeconsulting.com CCTime.com, 7/07/08 Aiming to complete the liquidation of its CDMA assets as soon as possible, China Unicom (NYSE: CHU; 0762.HK; 600050.SH) will lower prices on its stock of CDMA handsets in the near future. A source with knowledge of the situation said that the lower prices would primarily be on "mid-range to low-end CDMA handsets." The source said that the majority of Unicom Huasheng employees would stay on at Unicom, with a small number going on to China Telecom (NYSE: CHA; 0728.HK). Unicom Huasheng GM Yu Yingtao will likely stay at Unicom. A spokesperson for China Telecom said that following completion of the acquisition of Unciom's CDMA business, the China Telecom would introduce an all-new CDMA promotion plan. Editor's Note: Unicom's efforts to liquidate its CDMA handset inventory come on the heels of earlier rumors that China Telecom was not open to taking over Unicom's remaining inventory.
