China Telecom was called Directorate General of Telecommunications? Periodicals; T? China at first. In 1995, she was registered as legal representative, to From there, separating the management of government enterprises. In 1998, postal and telecommunications services separate, specializing in telecommunications operations. In 1999, services, satellite services and mobile services have been separated from China Telecom. In 2000, China Telecom was formally established.

During 2001-2002, in order to break the monopoly in telecommunications fixed, after having been separated from mobile services, China Telecom was divided into northern and southern parts. In May 2005, newly reformed China Telecom and China Netcom have been formally established. Telecommunications companies in ten provinces, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi and Mongolia Northern Interior China, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang in northern China, Henan and Shandong, belonged to the northern part of China Telecom. Others belonged the southern part of China Telecom.

China Netcom Group Corporation (Hong Kong) Limited was merged with the northern part of China in collaboration with Telecom China Netcom and Jitong Network Communications Company Limited.

The southern part of China Telecom has retained the name, which bears the name of China Telecom and intangible assets. Chinese telecommunications market has been gradually formed the grounds of competition with telecommunications companies base of China Telecom, China Netcom, China Mobile, China Unicom, China Satcom and China Tietong.

During the development process long China Mobile Limited was the giant Chinese mobile communications industry. In 2008, services revenue of China Mobile Limited reached 412.3 billion yuan ($ 58.9), up 15.5% in 2007, achieving annual net profits of 112.8 billion yuan, up 29.6% in 2007.

At the end of May 2008, the prelude to the fourth reform of the Chinese telecommunications industry was officially launched. Internet CDMA merged by China Telecom, China Mobile China Tietong entry, integration of China Unicom and China Netcom, represented than telecommunications Chinese industry had entered the era of tripartite confrontation. After the mergers, the reform of China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom have all fixed networks, mobile phone licenses, the classification of all service operations, which marks the emergence of new competitors in the industry Chinese telecoms.

There are three reasons for Mergers: first, strengthening the competitiveness of operators, on the other hand, modify the structure of competition disparate, third, creating opportunities for reform of the service for operators.

The newly built China Unicom has awarded the 3G license, the most widespread and well-rounded in the world. Because of its industry chain mature and low cost equipment, the new building of China Unicom has advantages in the competition of 3G services.

Meanwhile, the service is the standard WCDMA 3G technologies in the world, the fastest growth in users. It had clear advantages over the competition CDMA2000 services, in particular the reform later to 4G. Currently, the WCDMA standard is more mature, receiving support from various major manufacturers of telecommunications equipment. However, the operating capacity of China Unicom's market has lagged behind China Mobile. The prospects for development of WCDMA services in China need further investigation. At the end of 2008, the GSM mobile phone users accumulation China Unicom rose to 133.365 million and 100.146 million fixed phone users.

China Telecom is the first operator fixed telephony. At the end of 2008, users have more than $ 208 million, but cut by several million users each month averagely.

Although Internet users of China Mobile have been very low, China Mobile has started building the network throughout the country because of its abundance of capital. It is expected that users will grow at a rapid rate.

The standard TD-SCDMA in China Mobile operated belonged to independent Chinese 3G standard, lagging behind WCDMA and CDMA2000. But outside the consideration of the services, the position of giant China Mobile could not weaken the Chinese mobile communications market. It is possible for China Mobile to get another license WCDMA recent years.
