China Netcom to Offer GSM Service from This Month

After one week's study, I have learned some basic knowledge about GSM and its technical details. However, it is quite hard for me to decide which topic should I choose as my main topic. I talked with some of my classmates. They suggested me to look at the development of GSM in China and the market there and try to get some conlusions based on my study and observation. Hence, I decide to focus my study area on the development of GSM market in China. I hope I can find some interesting facts and give my opinions.

Today I heard the news that The China Netcom Group has instructed all employees to use mobile phones that run on China Unicom's GSM network. By May 30 the majority of Netcom employees had received 156-prefix numbers, which are also used by Unicom employees. According to Unicom insiders, the switch to the new numbers has not yet started, but is expected to take place soon. China Netcom's operational targets set at the start of the year will not change.Figures from China Unicom show that 20% of employees in the south of China will move to China Telecom with this figure rising to 30% in the north. Joint CDMA / GSM base station locations will be split 50:50 between the two firms.
