Chinanews.com.cn, 11/11/08
Wang Xiaojie, director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT)'s Science and Technology Department, has revealed that next year SARFT plans to purchase 1 mln CMMB terminals. Wang estimated that by the end of this year, 100 cities nationwide would have CMMB coverage, and that value-added services, including interactive content, would also be introduced.
Editor's Note: Wang's estimate for total cities covered represents a considerable scale-back from earlier estimates. In January this year, SARFT revealed plans to provide CMMB coverage in 324 cities by July 2008. For more information, please see "SARFT Plans CMMB Coverage of 324 Cities by July", MD 1/02/08 issue.
