Things I keep finding in all these news tickers and news pages and that are too interesting to be thrown away, but not interesting enough to be kept secret...

Overview over Chinese telecoms markets

Stephen McClelland writes at TelecomMagazine.com about the status of the
Chinese telecoms market, its recent developments and policy issues.
"At the last count, China had over 830 million fixed and mobile subscribers
by the end of 2006, heaping on around 19.6 million fixed and 66.6 million
mobile subscribers during the year." Which is the upside. The downside:
"major uncertainty remains, particularly in the policy domain. A Telecom Law
that was supposed to be the foundation stone for all telecom regulation in
the country still has not been enacted and, even in draft form, has not even
been made public."
Interesting overview, recommended reading. The full story at:
