China Mobile: 3G Network Utilization at Only 9-10%

C114, 12/15/10

At the 2010 International Mobile Internet Conference held in Beijing on December 13 and 14, Li Xin of the China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; 0941.HK) Research Institute said that data services had grown rapidly recently, with GSM network usage (calculated as an estimate of how much network bandwidth is being used) growing from 68% to 78% between late 2009 and mid-2010, while TD-SCDMA network usage remains stable at 9% to 10%. 60% of 3G mobile traffic is carried over GSM networks: possible reasons include areas of weak TD-SCDMA network coverage; users who have set their mobile phones to only use GSM connections; and issues of terminal location and terminal signal-checking causing terminals to automatically select GSM networks for better connections.
