DR, Re: 3G in China. There is quite a discrepancy in the 2010 Chinese 3G sub estimates between the China Regulator-MII (480 Million- 80% of 600M) and the UMTS forum (85 Million). Also of note the MII is forecasting 56M 3G subs by 2007.

1. The regulator said China's base of 2G users would start to decline from 2007. By then, an estimated 15 per cent of the mainland's mobile-phone users would be using 3G, rising to 80 per cent by 2010 when the pool reaches 600 million.

UMTS Forum has previously predicted that China will be one of the top five markets for UMTS/3G and has estimated that by 2010 there will be approximately 85 million 3G subscribers in the country.
