The 3G feast has begun, and I've collected some of the major 3G news from recent times: A new mobile internet terminal, "TD netbook" will make its appearance in March: http://tech.qq.com/a/20090122/000275.htm China Mobile subsidizes retail stores for TD promotion, starting the 3G channel battle: http://tech.qq.com/a/20090122/000073.htm MIIT: Plans to develop 150 million 3G users within three years: http://tech.qq.com/a/20090122/000186.htm Beijing and Shanghai Unicom plan to start 3G trials on April 17th, with commercial use a month later: http://tech.qq.com/a/20090122/000087.htm Unicom's "countdown" for the 3G era: Official launch on May 17th: http://tech.qq.com/a/20090121/000009.htm Operators plan to invest nearly 150 billion yuan in 3G this year, but profitability is unlikely within two years: http://tech.qq.com/a/20090121/000029.htm China Mobile and China Telecom will begin their 3G competition in March, with the first round focused on first-tier cities: http://tech.qq.com/a/20090119/000091.htm The response to 3G is already showing strong signs. First, netbooks will be bundled with data cards for sale during this 3G promotion. In the notebook industry, netbooks will be a highlight in 2009. As 3G is just beginning, the competition for users will be fierce. Based on the habitual practices of operators, in the first few years, 3G users can expect many free devices and call subsidies, which will be quite attractive to users. Second, developing 150 million users within three years marks a new turning point in the mobile phone market. The focus will be on embedded 3G applications. The 3G application will give rise to a large number of emerging companies. However, the three major operators are each bringing out their own unique features. Being both the referee and the athlete in this situation, there is still much to come. In the future, when you turn on your device, you might see messages like "Welcome to China Mobile Internet" or "Welcome to China Telecom Internet." Applications such as Fetion will likely be included, posing a big challenge for traditional internet service providers trying to catch the first wave. Especially in cultivating the first batch of wireless internet users, they may even offer subsidies to attract them. All in all, 3G, the wireless internet model, and full-electric interconnection mode will once again revolutionize people's lives. It's exciting!
