WHAT: The CDMA Development Group (CDG) expressed its support for
the recently announced restructuring of China's
telecommunications industry, further adding that it
believes the new structure will catalyze the fair
distribution of 3G licenses and further increase the growth
of CDMA in China. The company issued the following
statement:
"The CDMA community supports the restructuring of China's
telecommunications industry and believes it will lead to
the licensing of 3G services, further stimulate healthy
competition and build economies of scale for CDMA in China,
as well as around the world through increased exports. The
performance and flexibility of CDMA2000(r) networks have
enabled operators to rapidly and cost-effectively deploy
telephony services and new capabilities such as high-speed
wireless broadband Internet access, highly accurate
location-based services and essential public safety
services. The CDG plans to be an active participant in
meeting the demand for these services in China through the
continued expansion of the country's CDMA2000 network,"
stated Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG.
Executives from the CDG are available to provide commentary
regarding its support of China's telecommunications
industry restructuring, including the positive effect the
CDG believes this restructuring will have on innovation,
competition and the growth of CDMA in China and around the
world.
