Yep, Here's the numbers. Being away from home, I find it interesting that out of the 17 million, 39.11483% are not GSM. It will be interesting to watch this number over the next few years. nf (11) Mobile Phone Subscriptions Approaching 17 Million [CND, 05/21/98] The total number of mobile telephone users in China reached 16.72 million at the end of April, Newsbytes reports quoting Xinhua. According to the report, recent years have seen an annual growth rate of 150 percent for mobile telephone subscriptions. Figures also revealed that GSM (global system for mobile communications) is the leading technology with 10.18 million users at the end of April. (Ray ZHANG, YINDe An)

ERICSSON SOLVES YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS IN THE AXE SYSTEMS Ericsson's program, Upgrade 2000, offers a solution to the millennium bug for the AXE, world's most widely sold switch, with over 132 million lines installed or on order in some 125 countries. Upgrade 2000 has been designed to coordinate millennium upgrades. Ericsson analyses individual customers' upgrade requirements and can therefore offer the solutions they require. The primary need is for upgrading the software which controls the switches in the fixed network. In some cases, the hardware also has to be upgraded; for example the oldest control computers. The approach of the Upgrade 2000 program is to take an overall view of the problem, and ensure that the installed base is upgraded in time. "However, the millennium shift is only one of many challenges currently facing our customers. Our customers are anxious to enter the combined telecoms/datacoms market. By upgrading to our latest YK2 compliant version, we provide them with the support they need to do so. They are upgraded to the open architecture AXE which provides them with a state-of-the-art telecommunications network and enables them to cooperate with the datacoms and Internet networks," says Dick Frid, Program Manager at Ericsson Infocom Systems, Public Networks. Ever since its first appearance on the market, new features have been added to the AXE system in the ongoing effort to develop and improve it. The Upgrade 2000 project widely introduces a new phase in the evolution of the AXE system. Ericsson's AXE provides an open architecture that supports all fixed and wireless telecoms, datacoms and interactive services. AXE is the most widely-deployed switching system in the world, with over 132 million lines installed or on order in some 125 countries. The system is also supporting well above 75 million users of wireless network services in more than 90 countries worldwide. Ericsson's 100,000 employees are active in more than 130 countries. Their combined expertise in fixed and mobile networks, mobile phones and infocoms systems makes Ericsson a world-leading telecommunications supplier.
