China may unveil a plan for phone companies to offer both fixed-line and mobile services “soon,” Sina.com reported yesterday, citing Xi Guohua, deputy minister of the Industry and Information.
The government aims to reform the nation’s telecommunications industry to speed up its development, Sina.com cited Xi as saying on Wednesday.
China Telecom Corp and China Netcom Group Corp, the nation’s two biggest fixed-line phone companies, have said they want licenses to offer mobile services, Bloomberg News said.
China Mobile Ltd, the world’s biggest telco by users, gained a record 7.97 million subscribers in February, while the two fixed-line companies both lost phone customers.
