Abstract
China Netcom was long awaiting a 3G licence for time division-synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA). This technology was going to be tested at the Beijing Olympics and there was a lot of speculation about the successful implementation of TD-SCDMA. However, China's cellular subscribers were forecasted to reach 28 million by 2011 from 1.1 million subscribers in 2007. Anticipating such huge subscription growth, China Netcom had invested millions of dollars in upgrading its transformation from a fixed-line communication provider to a broadband communication provider and multimedia services provider. China Netcom had also reformed its organisational structure, operation model and corporate governance practices. Going forward, the fate of China Netcom would depend upon the success of TD-SCDMA technology.
