The重组 race of the six major operators: Unicom and Netcom business integration takes the lead. On June 20th, Telecom and Unicom jointly held a video conference to establish a joint working group for the CDMA transition period, responsible for the asset inventory of the CDMA network and coordinating the subsequent network separation and acceptance. Meanwhile, "the China Netcom, China Unicom restructuring and integration promotion office" was officially established last week, and both parties even jointly announced some promotional plans in certain cities.
It is obvious that the speed of integration will directly affect the competitive landscape after the restructuring is finalized. When China's six major operators are transformed into three full-service operators, whether it is fixed-line, mobile communication or data services, the market will become increasingly fierce due to intensified competition. Under this situation, the more thorough and earlier the integration is completed, the more likely the operator will gain an advantage.
