The upcoming Third Generation Mobile Communication (3G) will attract great investment on China’s telecom sectors, reports People’s Daily. The manufacturers of equipment-building, optical fiber and optical cable, terminal building, system integration and other related sectors will all benefit from 3G. Analysts International’s China CAPEX Annual Report 2006 shows that if China issues its first 3G license this year, the first 3G network size is expected to reach 20 million lines to meet customers’ needs. If every line costs 1000 Yuan, the total investment of the first 3G equipment will amount to 10-20 billion Yuan. It is of immediate concern that network equipment manufacturers can attract new investment from the 3G operators. Some foreign manufacturers have already taken advantage of 2G or 2.5G to earn possible investment from the 3G operators.
