The number of cellphone users in China jumped 10.061 million in October 2009, compared with 9.336 million in the previous month, citing a report by BOCOM International Holdings Co., Ltd.
In detail, China Mobile Ltd. saw the number of its cellphone users grow 5.099 million in October, including 654,000 TD-SCDMA subscribers; the 2G mobile phone users of China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. increased 801,000; and the cellphone users of China Telecom Corp., Ltd. hiked 3.14 million.Both university freshmen and China Unicom’s launching of the 3G services largely contributed to China’s cellphone user base enlargement, BOCOM International pointed out, expecting that the 3G business would become an important growth engine for the local telecoms market.
In addition, China Telecom’s user growth is partly attributed to its competition for low- and medium-end customers, and the operator’s user base is expected to grow fast in line with its consumer subsidization at the end of this year.
