Chinese 3G aka TD-SCDMA subscriber volumes falling short of expectations
Chinese 3G aka TD-SCDMA subscriber volumes falling short of expectations. Following the previous report about Chinese 3G aka TD-SCDMA integrated by Digia to Nokia S60 platform, According to China’s CCID Consulting, the number of TD-SCDMA subscribers is expected to reach 2.31 million by the end of this year, falling substantially short of the optimistic projection of 20-50 million subscribers.

Since China Mobile launched TD-SCDMA trial operation in early April, the company has so far attracted slightly over 50,000 subscribers plus 8,000 trial business users, CCID noted.

More than 40 TD-SCDMA enabled mobile phones have received a network access license in China. However, only a few models are being sold, hence limiting the sales of TD-SCDMA phones. In addition, the TD-SCDMA handsets currently available in the market have only limited multimedia functions, while the data transmission speeds of most models are also not fast enough.
