On May 23rd, according to Hong Kong media reports, after the domestic outbreak of TD-LTE as a mandatory project for 3 telecom operators ’4G licenses, Lu Yimin, general manager of China Unicom, said in Hong Kong that he has not received a 4G license. Indeed, if there are resources, China Unicom can pay attention to the development of TD, but China Unicom still gives priority to hope to obtain FDD LTE license.
The general manager of China Unicom says FDD takes priority in 4G
There are two types of 4G systems, one is FDD LTE, and the other is TD-TLE. The former is widely used internationally and the technology is relatively mature. The latter is a country that has a large number of independent intellectual property rights, but the technology and terminals are yet to be perfect. Previously, China Mobile had decided to obtain the TD-LTE license, but it has not been clear what kind of 4G license China Unicom and China Telecom obtained.
Recently, there was a rumor that "the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's preferred licensing scheme is a mandatory project for TD for three telecommunications companies. That is, each company must bear the responsibility of building a TD network, and whether to apply for an additional FDD license. The choice of each telecommunications provider means that the telecommunications provider may have both 4G licenses by then. "
This statement was originally spread from Weibo in large numbers. Later, some media quoted it as an official statement, but it was considered unreliable by most people in the industry and was suspected by stakeholders.
In response to this, some Hong Kong media reported that Lu Yimin, general manager of China Unicom, said in Hong Kong that he had not received any definite news of 4G licensing, but the company could pay attention to the development of TD. He said that China Unicom's 3G technology standard is WCDMA, and the future operation and technology development route is clearer. It will first develop with FDD. China Unicom has also been actively studying the future 4G development plan, but has not heard when 4G will be licensed.
People in the industry generally believe that the possibility of issuing TD-LTE licenses to China Unicom is very small, because the evolution direction of the WCDMA standard used by China Unicom 3G is TD-LTE. Unless a new network is built, it will not be able to smoothly evolve to TD-LTE.
Before March this year, Chang Xiaobing, chairman of China Unicom, made it clear at the 2012 performance conference in Hong Kong: "After management research, China Unicom will firmly move away from the existing technology route, that is, FDD 4G The internet".
I have not heard that Telefónica will reduce its shareholding in Unicom
Spain Telecom, China Unicom's second largest shareholder, sold part of Unicom's shares to China Unicom last year. The lock-up period will expire next month. The market is concerned about whether Spain Telecom will further reduce its holdings. Lu Yimin said that he believes that Spain Telecom should have a plan to reduce its holdings. China Unicom will be notified in advance, but China Unicom has not yet received the other party's news. Whether the parent company will increase its holding will depend on the market conditions and the actual environment.
Regarding the mainland or issuing virtual operator licenses, Lu Yimin believes that the opportunities brought by virtual operators outweigh the challenges and will help the company's business development.
China Unicom's new 3G subscribers decreased by 6% month-on-month in April. Lu Yimin called April the off-season of the industry. Compared with the promotion after the Spring Festival in March, it fell back as a general phenomenon in the industry.
