Population: 1.3 Billion GDP: $1.4Trillion (2003), the sixth largest economy in the world (excluding Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao) China Overview Telecommunicationsmanufacturing, sales and services in China are more than one third of national GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Aug 1 - Rev 06
Telecom Industry Statistics - As of Dec. 2003 Fixed Line Users 263.3 Million Penetration Rate 20.4 % *Mobile Users 268.7 Million Penetration Rate 20.8 % Internet Users 79.5 Million *China has the largest number of mobile users in the world. Aug 1 - Rev 06
2003 China Telecom Industry Revenues • Domestic telecommunications industry continues to evolve: • Data services are accelerating due to increased internet usage and new digital networks. • Paging business continues to decline due to competition from other wireless services (mobile). • Land line services remain strong as PHS (“Little Smart”) expands rapidly. • Mobile business is the growth engine of the telecomm industry. • New services (location based services, e-mail, etc.) are growing fast, but are still insignificant overall.

Major Players in China Telecom Industry Revenue: $ 8.1 B Capex: $ 4.83 B (EST) Subscribers: 92.0 M (CDMA & GSM) CDMA Subs.: 19.1 M 2003 Revenue: $ 19.2 B (CMHK) 2003 Capex: $ 7.9 B (EST) 2003 Subscribers: 173 M (GSM ) Revenue: $ 17.56 B Capex: $ 7.37 B (EST) Subscribers: 160 M (Fixed Line) Broadband Subs: 7.35 M Revenue: $ 8.81 B (EST) Subscribers: 88.45 M (Fixed Line) Broadband Subs.: 10 M
Major Players’ Roadmap for Wireless China Unicom (CU) continues to expand its CDMA network. In 2002, the network was upgraded to 1X. Now CU is about to finish its Phase III expansion with a total network capacity of appr. 55 M subscribers. CU also plans to launch dualmode service in July 2004. Since 2000, China Mobile (CMCC) has focused on deploying GPRS, which turned out to be unsuccessful. CMCC slowed its deployment in 2003. Many expect it to migrate to WCDMA next year In 2001, former China Telecom (CT) split into China Telecom for Southern China and China Netcom (CNC) for Northern China (with former CNC and Jitong). CT is very anxious to obtain a mobile license. CT has actively deployed CDMA-based WLL systems at 450 MHz and 1900 MHz, and PAS, with approximately 30 M users. CT has not decided its choice of 3G standard. CNC is very interested in mobile business. It has been deploying WLL (or limited mobility-based) CDMA 450, and PAS systems. CNC is currently investigating its 3G strategy. Aug 1 - Rev 06

China’s 3G Prospects - All CDMA Technologies are Under Consideration ? ? • China Telecom and China Netcom do not have mobile licenses yet. • Datang, a Chinese telecom vendor and Siemens co-developed TD-SCDMA which is considered a “home-grown” technology in China. The government strongly supports TD-SCDMA, allocating 155 MHz in 3G spectrum for TDD (TD-SCDMA) as an incentive. • Government might push for WCDMA and TD-SCDMA combination. • Current market is favorable to CDMA 2000.
