BEIJING-China Mobile, the country’s largest wireless carrier, has signed a cooperation agreement with fixed-line carrier China Network, according to international press reports. The agreement aims to promote “rational competition” and to avoid duplicating networks.
China Telecom is the largest fixed-line carrier in China, but offers wireless services through a PHS network. The carrier is highly expected to gain a third-generation license when the government awards the licenses, which has been delayed for months.
Both carriers are controlled by the Chinese government.
