In 2008, China Telecom successfully undertook the roaming cooperation relationship with the original 2 1c network operators and service providers of China Unicom, and successfully realized the smooth transition of international roaming of C network. On the basis of existing CDMA international roaming cooperation, we will further expand the new roaming partners and service scope of C network, and realize global seamless roaming service through CtoC and CtoG. China Telecom has 18 terrestrial optical cable systems and 4 international submarine optical cable systems, covering all directions of the world, and the export capacity of international transmission networks in all directions of the world reaches 625G. There are two landing stations for submarine cables, Chongming Station and Shantou Station. SEA-ME-WE3, China-US optical cable and Asia-Pacific No.2 submarine cable in the Asia-Pacific region all landed at these two stations, while the TPE submarine cable put into production in 2008 landed at Chongming Station.
In 2008, international network capacity building was further strengthened, and China Telecom's Trans-Pacific Direct Optical Cable System (TPE) was started and put into operation. The first batch of Sino-US direct 12.5G circuits were successfully opened, which increased the transmission bandwidth of China Telecom in North America from the existing 150G to 235G. In Europe, the 30G system of China-Russia No.2 optical cable was successfully put into production at the end of 2008. In 2008, the system expansion projects between Vietnam and VTI, Vietnam and EVN were completed, and the ETL system expansion project with Laos and the second optical cable routing construction project with LTC were started; In 2006 -2008, the optical cable docking with Mobicom and Tietong was completed, and the capacity of Mongolia system reached 15G, and the network scale was far ahead of other domestic operators. The transmission project of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor in cooperation with Hutchison Whampoa was put into operation in August, and a third line of the Western Corridor was added between the mainland and Hong Kong, which was only owned by China Telecom.

In 2008, China Telecom actively participated in three meetings of ITU-T NGNGGSI, and achieved certain results. In the next research cycle, China Telecom will take the lead in formulating four new draft proposals: NGN multimedia call center (MCC) requirements, IP Centrex service signaling requirements, NGN protocol monitoring and NGN voice service monitoring. At the same time, the focus of work in ITU has been established, which ensures the leading position of NGN related work fields in the next research period, and also reflects the demand of China Telecom in ITU standard system.
In FG IPTV, in 2008, China Telecom actively participated in the fifth ITU-T IPTV GSI conference, and achieved certain results. In addition, we also actively participated in and followed up the research on IPTV middleware and other topics in this conference.
