"According to the MII stats, total TD-SCDMA plus TD-LTE shipments were 53 million in Q1 so there is still enough volume to hit the target. The transition from TD-SCDMA to TD-LTE would have to happen nearly overnight though. " Right, and along these lines, it is the gross 3G+4G adds that represents the potential fully-transitioned 4G market, which could be substantially higher than the combined 3G+4G net adds (about 43m in Q1). As for why the slow 4G take up, who knows. Coverage will definitely improve with time, but I was under the impression relatively low cost handsets were already available.
