CHINA'S own technology for 'third generation?cellular phones is ready for large-scale commercial use, the Financial Times said Monday, citing ZTE, the country's second largest telecom equipment maker.
Equipment based on the government-backed TD-SCDMA standard for 3G telecoms services could now operate comparably with that of the rival European-led WCDMA standard and the U.S.-favored CDMA2000, Shenzhen-based ZTE president Yin Yimin told the newspaper. Commercial readiness for China's TD-SCDMA technology could clear the way for the government to issue long-awaited 3G licenses to home telecom operators, the newspaper said.
