Before the 1990s, China's telecommunications sector was a lacklustre monopoly featured by poor-quality service and inadequate capacity. Today the country boasts a dynamic telecommunications industry with the world's largest communications network and user-base with over 460 million telephone subscribers. China's accession to the WTO in 2001 has opened this huge developing telecommunications market to foreign participation and investment. The authors examine the singularity of the Chinese experience in building up its extensive telecommunications network in merely a decade, by reviewing China's national industrial policies and institutional reforms within the industry. The reader will find in this volume a unique and in-depth analysis of the interplay between political and economic forces amidst the industry's structural overhaul and regulatory reforms. The accounts of industrial features and market conditions are enriched with up-to-date data, which are extremely useful for appreciating the development and prospects for this fast-growing market, set against the backdrop of China's accession to the WTO. Scholars of China or Asian studies and researchers of information-communications industry and Asian/China studies will find this work of great interest, as will governmental policymakers, both in China and beyond. For foreign business practitioners eyeing this market, this volume provides a helpful guide to understand China's various interests and public welfare considerations that motivate changes in policies towards foreign investment and participation.

Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 2 (good), Rovaniemi University of Applied Sciences (Swedish School, Institute of Economics, Vaasa), course: Business in East and Southeast Asia, language: English, abstract: In China a tough competition in the mobile-phone business has evolved between western-like global operating companies and domestic chinese telecommunication companies. The battle is about market shares in the rapidly growing market of mobile phones in the PRC. Mobile phones, or in chinese “Shouji”1, become increasingly popula r, especially in the so-called boom-areas where mobile phones have become a status symbol like in other western countries so that people own 2 or 3 or even more mobiles whereas in rural areas the development of mobile communication networks still goes ofte n against zero. The purpose of this essay is to show up some facts about the PRC ́s telecommunication market, to introduce the reader to the most important foreign and domestic companies doing business in this market, to show up the current situation of both types of companies in China, and to analyse some reasons for the recent market development. Claas Bartels, Holger Wenk and Michael Mahlich are alltogether students at the Business Faculty of the “University of Applied Sciences and Arts” in Hildesheim, Germany, studying the field Business and Administration with specialisation in Controlling, Finance, Accounting, Taxation, IT and International Business. 1 A mixture of the chinese characters for „hand“ and „device“
