(SinoCast via NewsEdge) Industry insiders said China will issue three or four 3G licenses within the year. Analysys International, a leading technology advisor in the Asia-Pacific region, contends that the country is likely to issue 3G licenses in the second half of the year. The maturity of TD-SCDMA, the nation''s homegrown 3G standard, is still a key factor that the government should take into consideration, Analysys said. Analysys also said the number of the 3G licenses to be issued depends on whether the nation''s fixed-line telecom operators China Telecom and China Netcom will set up regional or national 3G networks. ?2005 SinoCast, All rights reserved ?2005 Dialog, a Thomson business.
