China Telecom to Accelerate Phase-3 3G Network Construction

CWW, 6/25/09

At today's "China Telecom 3G Terminal Supply Chain Summit," Wang Xiaochu, chairman and CEO of China Telecom (NYSE: CHA; 0728.HK), said that China Telecom plans to accelerate third-phase construction of its CDMA2000 EV-DO 3G mobile network, increasing coverage from the current 342 cities to a total of 500 cities by the end of July.

Wang added that two weeks ago a delegation from JP Morgan Chase came to China and specially engaged a network testing company to test the 3G networks of China's three mobile operators. The results of the study reportedly showed that China Telecom's 3G network led in terms of stability, coverage, and network speed.
