Mobile Internet in China
China became the number one country in the world in terms of mobile subscriber base as at July 2001 when its user size increased to 120.6 million. It is very impressive to see that mobile telephony grows so quickly in China on the one hand and WAP fails to pave its way in the market on the other. However, there have been some important changes taking place in the Chinese mobile Internet field. Based on the background of China ’s telecommunications take-off in the last decade, this paper discusses issues in the mobile sector, with a special focus on progress to date. This paper is a part result of my academic visit to Sweden from August to October 2001.
