China Mobile: The largest mobile phone operator on the planet
The actual number of subscribers to China Mobile is closer to 502,936,000, China Mobile is the largest mobile phone operator on the planet according to the data of its subscribers, and recently its announced that there is a continuous increase in the numbers that means it’s broken through the half billion mark. Which means that almost 700 million mobile subscribers in total and a little over 500 million of them with one network.
According to Nokia blog on China mobile subscribers “3G is interesting in China too. Only 1.33 million people are on the China Mobile 3G network, as of August (though that represents a jump of 30 per cent over July). With 4G technology already being tested in some parts of the world, and expected to begin roll out in the next 12 months, it doesn’t take a genius to work out what’ll happen in countries like China.
With equipment spending by Chinese mobile operators estimated to hit $41bn over the next two years, vendors are falling over themselves to accommodate the country’s nascent technology initiatives.
Nokia Siemens Networks recently threw its weight behind TD-LTE, the Time Division flavour of the next generation wireless platform based on LTE and earlier this week said it had partnered with China Mobile to demonstrate a TD-LTE femtocell, ensuring decent indoor coverage for the 4G networking platform.
