 IT Times, Qian Li Fu

3G user number is 47050000. Part-time work in the January 27 letter to the Department at the 47,050,000 This figure is unlikely to be satisfactory, because the previously proposed by the Ministry of Industry in 2011 to reach 150 million 3G users compared to the target, and now there are 100 million users of the gap, the three operators to accomplish this goal, difficulty can be quite large. In fact, in January announced the three operators in mid-December last year, the main operation data, they would have announced 3G transcripts.

in just the last in 2010, the national net increase of 36.834 million 3G users, totaled 47,052,000. Which, in December last year, China Unicom added 1.284 million 3G users, a net increase of 11.32 million last year, 3G subscribers as of the end of 2010, China Unicom 3G subscribers reached 14.06 million; China Mobile 3G users added 1.867 million in December last year, the annual a net increase of 17,294,000, to 20,702,000; in December last year, China Telecom added 1.32 million 3G users, the annual net increase of 8.22 million, reaching 12.29 million.

China Telecom and China Unicom are beginning to realize the promise of eight million and 10 million incremental goals set by China Mobile to leave early goal of 30 million there is a certain gap. But more outside attention is the development of the current number of users from the Ministry of Industry had set the gap between the development of greater expectations.

last March, the Ministry of Industry jointly issued by eight departments Opinion that by 2011, 3G network covers all cities above the prefecture level and most of the county, township, and other major highways and scenic areas, 3G base stations, more than 400,000, 3G subscribers reached 150 million. And now only less than a year, the three operators to complete the new 100 million if the target user must add 8.3 million per month, while last year it added 3.92 million per month. That is, the number of users each month, this year, twice last year in order to complete the task, it is very difficult. In fact, from the middle of last year, the Ministry had been aware of some of the slow speed of 3G development issues, the Ministry of Communication Development Division, said Zhang Feng, 3G TD-SCDMA users to develop and become the user focus of the work in 2011 .

the end of this year, the number of 3G users is likely to be how much? Ministry of Industry and Telecommunications Research Institute, said Chen Jinqiao, deputy chief engineer in 2011 will enter the scale of China's 3G development period, the year is expected to add around 60 million 3G users, 3G subscribers will exceed 1 million. On this basis, the 3G subscribers in 2011 from the Ministry of Industry and development goals set by the existence of about 40 million gap.
