The Global System for Mobile Communication, or GSM Association is visiting China to persuade the Chinese government to adopt wideband CDMA as the standard for the country's third generation of mobile telecommunications.
CEO of the association Robert Conway said China will have a unique opportunity to expand its global leadership in the mobile industry if it applies the standard. The Chinese government has to choose from three third generation standards: the self－developed TD－SCDMA, the European－based WCDMA and the US－based CDMA2000.
By the end of June, there were 235 million mobile phone users in China, accounting for a quarter of the world's total. Conway says, more than 95 percent of Chinese subscribers use GSM and the WCDMA, making it the natural 3G choice.
