Is the 3G customer acquisition in India encouraging enough? Has the performance of Indian PSU Telecom companies in acquiring 3G customers been Good?
Judge your self. This is how China's 3G customer acquisition has shaped up since 2009. As of the end of October 2010, China had reached 38.64 mln 3G mobile subscribers which is almost 3 times from last year. The number of 3G users of each of China’s top three telecommunication operators, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom, exceeded 10 million by the end of October, the MIIT data showed. Out of total 39 miln user, 10 mln were China Telecom CDMA2000 EV-DO subscribers, 16.98 mln were China Mobile TD-SCDMA subscribers, and 11.66 mln were China Unicom WCDMA subscribers. Compare this to almost 10 million acquisition in India in one year. Not Bad? TD-SCDMA users accounted for 43.9% of total 3G subscribers, with the total number of new 3G users in 2010 to date reaching 25.38 mln.
Earlier this month, the ministry said that China aimed to have 150 million 3G mobile users by 2011, while investment in 3G development would hit RMB 400 billion (US$59 billion).
China’s telecommunication industry reported RMB 744.8 billion (US$109.53 billion) in revenues during the first ten months of 2010, up 6.6 percent year on year. Business revenue of mobile telecommunications made up 69.84 percent of the total, while fixed-line revenues accounted for 30.16 percent, dropping 3.2 percentage points year on year, the MIIT added.
