China Mobile to be licensed for operation within one week

According to insiders close to the Ministry of Industry, China Mobile will soon obtain fixed-network operating licence, is expected to be the official licensing time in the last week. At present, China Mobile has not made a formal response to this. Not long ago, media reports said the Ministry of Industry and Industry are brewing the three major telecommunications operators business licences and netting adjustment. It is reported that the policy adjustment is mainly focused on allowing China Mobile to operate a fixed broadband market, as well as the reduction of Chinese unicom and Telecom to the mobile-mobile network to pay the settlement standard two aspects. The report said that once these adjustments are implemented, the settlement fees paid by China Unicom and the Chinese telecom to China Mobile will be halved, while the settlement costs of mobile are unchanged. The industry insiders said that at present, the Ministry of Information on the adjustment of the three major operators of the network settlement policy is still in the study, there is no conclusion, but China Mobile to obtain fixed-network license is about to settle. At present, only China Mobile has no fixed-line operation license in the three major domestic carriers, while both Unicom and Chinese telecom are all business operators. The situation stems from an asymmetric regulatory measure in the restructuring of the telecoms industry in 2008. At that time, in order to balance the mobile market pattern, the Ministry of Industry issued "No. 686 document", clearly pointed out: China Mobile can only operate using TD network to carry out wireless broadband access services, cable broadband services by railcom operation. It is reported that the regulatory measures at the end of 2011 have expired. In 2011, after the National Development and Reform Commission investigated China Telecom and Chinese unicom antitrust, China Mobile wanted direct access to fixed-line licences, rather than being operated by its railcom company. It is also understood that at a 2012 China Mobile shareholders ' meeting, China Mobile Chairman Xi had expressed the hope to be able to obtain the full business license including the fixed network Operation authority. Some analysts said that China Mobile to obtain fixed-network licences, will promote the construction of fixed-network broadband and the intensification of competition, the Ministry of Communication to China Mobile fixed network operation licence, may be in the policy of the other two operators to compensate, network settlement adjustment, may be one of the options.
