Because China Mobile has the largest number of mobile phone users, 800 million; China Unicom has a smaller number of mobile phone users, only 300 million; China Telecom has the smallest number of mobile phone users, only 200 million. Therefore, if we want to introduce the TD-SCDMA network with China's most immature technology and independent intellectual property rights to the world, only China Mobile has the strength; relying on the strength of China Telecom and China Unicom is not enough to bring China's most immature technology with independent intellectual property rights. TD-SCDMA network is introduced to the world! Therefore, the important task of developing TD-SCDMA and revitalizing the family business was handed over to China Mobile, the most powerful mobile communication leader; the WCDMA network with the most mature technology was handed over to the weakest communication operator, China Unicom; The technically mature CDMA2000 network was handed over to China Telecom, the leader in fixed-line communications with middle strength.
So it is correct for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to issue licenses in this way. Only in this way can the three major operators compete fairly, let a hundred schools of thought contend, and let a hundred flowers bloom! Otherwise, China Telecom and China Unicom will go bankrupt, leaving only China Mobile as the dominant player.
