Unicom on the one hand in C online battlefronts, on the one hand the huge investment in the G-NET, the surface looks convoluted and sudden decision is most likely that the 3 g licences issued an important signal before.
After the Spring Festival, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Shenzhen and Dongguan 130, 131 of Unicom users will gradually you can use GPRS (General Packet Radio service, the GSM network to the evolution of transition technologies 3G) network of mobile data services, including WAP, MMS and JAVA. "The building is completed before the Spring Festival, first quarter business" is Unicom headquarter to these six urban dead command issued. According to China Unicom insiders: "in accordance with the plan, at the end of 2006, the country's capital city and some of the major cities of GPRS are completed, the coverage of up to 100 cities. The Unicom GSM network upgrade to GPRS will invest more than $ 10 billion. ”
Although historically, GSM business are interchange operating income and profit is the primary source, but in the past five years, Unicom's strategic focus is clearly expanded around the CDMA network. Unicom has to come from GSM profit subsidies to C network construction, also substantially reduce the original G net investment scale. A digital display, Unicom for GSM network investment in 2002, nearly 80 million Yuan, and by 2004, that number is shrinking by more than half.
In China's three mobile communication network, C network of China Unicom after two times of the whole network upgrade, upgrading from 2.5G CDMA to 2.75G of CDMA1X, China Mobile has also completed a GPRS network construction, only the Unicom's G network always marking time. Therefore in China all mobile phone users, Unicom's G net users is very "poor", they call, enjoy value-added business almost only send text messages.
All indications are that before, Unicom has put all the bets are placed in a C online, or even a few degrees outgoing interchange to sell or lease G network, such as the once famous PCCW to share Unicom GSM business. Historically, in the face of Unicom internal C, G, two networks competing challenges, both Unicom itself, or an entire industry that seems to think that giving up G network is a natural thing. Deutsche Bank in an analysis report: China Unicom's future will train in CDMA business development. Because GSM business just China Unicom's short bread and butter, not its future.
