China to issue 3G licenses as early as this month
China will issue third-generation mobile phone licenses as early as this month and expects companies to spend 200 billion yuan ($30 billion) on installing equipment, the industry minister said Friday.
China has the world′s biggest population of mobile phone users and adoption of 3G _ which has been long delayed _ was eagerly anticipated by equipment suppliers, which are seeing demand elsewhere decline due to the global financial crisis.
‘The 3G licenses will be issued either later this year or early next year,’ Li Yizhong, whose ministry regulates telecoms, said at a news conference.
