Hi zujzuj, I use Acc/Dist and Chaikin charts... if you look at them, you can see the Acc/Dist chart a little stagnant but Chaikin uptrending. |

Or do you mean that the overall weak market sentiment is not conducive to picking up good buys? |

if we are interested in the 3G launch, infrastructure rather than handset will be invested first, so there are other stocks we should look into rather than Longcheer....hehehee... |

--------. China Mobile?s 3G Conundrum March 11, 2007 By the end of 2006, China had over 460 million cell phone users, which translates to about 5.6 million new customers a month. This is an enviable growth rate for most other countries. But more relevant to growth potential is that national cell phone density is still at a scant 35 percent. In other words, to double the density level, China will enjoy 6-7 more years of rigorous growth. And this does not take into account 3G service, which many predict will double current revenue in five years. Although China is yet to roll out 3G service, it is actively and meticulously conducting trials since last November. Previously in this column, I wrote about the shift in government policy in favor of TD-SCDMA, a homegrown 3G standard, and expected it to begin commercial service during the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. To give TD-SCDMA a run for its money, MII has added trial sites from five cities to ten. China Mobile, which will run extended trials, reportedly has bought TD-SCDMA network equipment valued over 10 billion yuan (US$1.4 billion). ZTE won 30 percent of the contract, the rest is shared by Datang Mobile, Alcatel, TD Tech (a joint venture between Huawei and Siemens) and Putian-Nokia. In Beijing, one of the trial sites and a main venue for the sporting event, TD-SCDMA networks are being upgraded to HSDPA aimed clearly at broadband media coverage. Most trials are conducted with little fanfare and for a good reason. None of the operators running these trials has a 3G license and MII does not want to give any impression on who's in line to receive a license and nor what standard should be used. Therefore, it is premature to assume all operators running current trials will secure a license for a preferable platform. China Mobile, for instance, has said publicly it wants WCDMA as a logical migration from GSM/GPRS. But the government, which owns all operators, may think China Mobile is the best candidate for TD-SCDMA given the company's technical and financial strength. This is exactly what's happening. The largest mobile operator is caught between its choice (WCDMA) and an essentially political obligation (TD-SCDMA). Regardless of technical merit and performance, TD-SCDMA will pump up national pride but can disrupt operation continuity for China Mobile, to say the least. The good news is it may give China Mobile a unique advantage in the future 3G market. If TD-SCDMA is chosen for the Olympic Games, China Mobile will likely become the first licensee or the pioneer for the service, whichever comes first. The preemptive position China Mobile gains will last long after the Games is over. Back in the field, preliminary results show "overall satisfaction" for TD-SCDMA network equipment, especially the so-called "smart antenna" and aggregate modulation, a key aspect for 3G signal processing and compatibility with 2G. Despite great efforts, TD-SCDMA handset remains a soft spot. On the one hand, there are 17 models available from companies like ZTE, Datang Mobile, Lenovo and Samsung, but few have plans for volume production for concerns of trial results and change of specifications. Another concern is TD-SCDMA handset lacks international endorsement, which will affect R&D at home and acceptance in other countries; it also might negatively affect consumer confidence in handset purchase. Then there is the issue of handset cost. In early February, the TD-SCDMA Alliance in Beijing called on chipmakers and handset manufacturers to collaborate on low-cost models with a target price of $100 or less. There is no timetable for the proposal, but new models could come out as soon as in a year. The key to a low-cost handset is the baseband chipset, which is responsible for function, integration scale, development cycle and cost. Datang Mobile, a major TD-SCDMA chipset supplier, has no plans to develop a new chipset. Other companies like Commit and Spreadtrum Communications are still trying to reap profit from current designs. Besides chipsets, handset form factor, display, features and components all play a part in cost reduction. So far, the idea of low-cost handset has met with little enthusiasm from the handset industry mainly because many companies are preoccupied with their handset performance in trials. After all, cost is a function of technological advancement and market adoption. For instance, it is time for WCDMA to develop low-cost handset after over 100 million users in some 60 countries. TD-SCDMA, on the other hand, is still a raw and unchallenged technology with no commercial basis. Nonetheless, it will be very interesting to watch TD-SCDMA unravel during the next 6-8 months. |

------------- New 3G trials in China due to last months March 11, 2007 The latest trials for the homegrown third-generation mobile standard TD- SCDMA starting this month will last at least 10 months, said a source at a participating equipment vendor. The trial, this time led by China Mobile Communications, the parent of China Mobile, covers at least eight cities, including the six cities where the 2008 Beijing Olympics Games are scheduled to be held. "It's like a neverending story as there was a TD-SCDMA trial in 2005," the source said. "The latest trials are still only a partial test. Maybe a complete test will be needed after that." Separately, a mainland media report quoted an industry source as saying that China Mobile Communications will ask equipment providers to submit bids for TD-SCDMA network equipment this week. The procurement bids had previously been reported to be worth 18 billion yuan (HK$18.15 billion). But last month, the amount was said to be as high as 26.7 billion yuan, a figure set by the National Development and Reform Commission. "The situation is that the authority kept expanding the trial while starting construction of the network, but without issuing any licenses," said China Everbright Research analyst Wong Chi- man. "But I think the government will still be able to offer 3G services for the Olympic Games in 2008 as promised, since the network upgrade for the other two standards won't take too long." It is widely believed Beijing will issue three 3G licenses: one for the homegrown TD-SCDMA, one for W-CDMA as used in Europe, and one for the CDMA 2000 system adopted in Japan and South Korea. The 2G standards used in the mainland are GSM and CDMA. As both GSM and W-CDMA use the same core networks, running 3G services based on W-CDMA will lower costs by using the existing network. Likewise, CDMA networks can easily be upgraded to support 3G services based on CDMA 2000. |

cannot wait......critizes China govt approach to 3G....will china govt wake up? ----------- China telecom association official critizes govt approach to 3G - report March 11, 2007 A senior representative of China's telecoms industry has criticized the government's introduction of new mobile phone services as slow, opaque and ineffective, the Financial Times reported. In an interview with the FT, Shi Jixing, vice-chairman of the China Mobile Communications Association, said officials had failed to set a unified policy on 3G, while routinely interfering in operators' strategic choices. China is missing an opportunity for 3G networks, said Shi, who is also a member of China's National People's Congress. Policy, he told the FT, was deadlocked between the Ministry of Information Industry, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the State Council's "informatization" office. "There are unclear responsibilities and low efficiency," he was quoted as saying. "This means the excellent strategic opportunity presented by 3G is not being grasped in time," he added. Chinese regulators have for years refused to discuss how, or when, they may issue 3G licences, decisions affecting billions of dollars in telecoms infrastructure spending and the fortunes of the country's big four operators. |
