China Mobile for 3G network. China Mobile has begun the marketing push for a public beta of 3G (third-generation) telephony services, hinting that full deployment may be available soon after the Olympics. Six handsets available as part of the trial are the Dopod s700, Motorola l800t, Chinese handset maker Haixin’s T66, LG KD876, Lenovo TD800, and Samsung i688.
TD-SCDMA was developed as part of a larger Chinese effort to create technology standards that would not require the payment of royalties to foreign patent holders. It is not compatible with any other 3G standard, and China’s carriers have not indicated they will support any other 3G standard. However, given the size of China’s domestic mobile market — about 550 million users — even 10 percent penetration would give TD-SCDMA more users than in many nations.
