Analysts Predict That China'S 3G Users Will Reach 100 Million In 2011.

In December 14th, a number of industry experts and analysts were interviewed by reporters. They generally believed that 2011 would be a year of explosive growth of China's 3G.

In 2011, the investment scale of 3G, which is the three largest carrier in China, reached 750-780 billion yuan. By the end of 2011, the size of 3G users in China is expected to reach 100 million.

While continuing to invest in 3G network construction, strengthening the large-scale commercial application of various 3G applications is the key to the growth of 3G subscribers next year.

Yan Cheng Yin, general manager of Communications Department of Beyeth (Beijing) Information Consulting Co., Ltd., told reporters by e-mail that in 2011, the three operators will focus on optimizing the coverage of 3G network. It is estimated that the scale of China Mobile 3G investment is about 40 billion yuan, China Unicom is about 20 billion yuan, and China Telecom is about 400, which is about 150-180 billion yuan.

Therefore, according to the prediction of baylice consulting, the investment of 3G led by domestic operators in 2011 was about 750-780 billion yuan.

Yan Cheng Yin further said that according to Beyeth's judgment, the size of China Mobile's 3G users is expected to reach 35 million -4000 million in 2011, while the 3G user scale of China Unicom is expected to reach 2000-3000 million, and the size of China Telecom's 3G users will reach 2000-3000 million.

Therefore, by the end of 2011, the domestic 3G user scale is expected to reach 100 million.

Beyeth consulting believes that the development of 3G will be more differentiated in 2011. Due to the great potential of 3G application development, operators will segment the user market as far as possible, and continue to create subdivision brands at different levels of subdivision needs.

According to the Ministry of industry and information technology, as of the end of October 2010, China's 3G users totaled 38 million 637 thousand, an increase of 10.4%, an increase of 295.7% over the same period last year.

Among them, China Mobile 3G accumulates 16 million 981 thousand users in the network, the total number of 3G users of China Unicom has reached 11 million 656 thousand, and the total number of China Telecom's 3G users reaches 10 million.

Fang Li, senior analyst at Analysys International, told reporters in a telephone interview that the three operators will continue to invest in 3G network construction in order to achieve 3G user goals in 2011. At the same time, 3G terminal customization will also become an important strategy to attract users in the future.

As for the development of 3G in 2011, operators need to gradually build 3G service system to realize large-scale commercial application of 3G applications while intensifying network construction.

Telecom expert Ma Jihua told reporters in a telephone interview that in 2011, China's 3G will enter the stage of customer competition. Operators will enhance the number of customers through a series of customer attraction measures. With the increasing number of users, various 3G applications will become more popular, and 3G will develop into the fast lane.

Li Dan, Secretary General of the 3G Applied Research Institute of China and Japan, told reporters by e-mail that China's 3G industry will develop rapidly in 2011, and 3G application will be the key point.

3G application is closely integrated with the emerging cloud computing services, intelligent communications, etc., and increasingly penetrates into all aspects of economic life.
