1) One of China's most important strategic projects is to build an open-architecture broadband wireless communication system, including mobile, to meet future IT infrastructure needs. 2) China's future mobile development will focus on B3G, 4G, open architectures, converged platforms, industrial standards for emerging markets, and encouraging private sector deployment through shared business models and dynamic spectrum allocation. 3) The document discusses China's long-term strategy to develop its wireless and mobile industries, challenges facing TD-SCDMA adoption, and introduces the Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) as a cost-effective and spectrum-efficient approach for high-speed wireless transmission.

China Economy Outlook
Based on Deutsche Banc Hongkong and Citigroup China Reports, 2007
No problem to continue remarkable growth
Technology will catch up very quickly
gy p yq y
“Hardware” is being very good – highway, IT, building, transport, …
“Software” becomes big problem – IPR, credit, ethics, teamwork….
Wireless Markets are HUGE – both gov’t and consumers’ markets
R&D Era will start from 2015, boom from 2020
Well-educated oversea Chineses will help China to the next level
Shanghai will catch up Hongkong in 2015, and Tokyo in 2030

TD-SCDMA Challenges
TD SCDMA Ch ll
Technology transparency issue (lack of research)
T h l t i (l k f h)
Network optimization and capacity optimization
IPR unclear and distributed, hard to manage
Business model unclear, no workable solution
unclear
Regulation and administration unclear
Story repeated in PABX case (hundreds of companies
can do TD-SCDMA if the market is good)
