China Telecom expands north
26/6/2003 15:01
China Telecommunications Co, the country's largest telecom operator, has
officially launched its nine northern China branches, carrying out its ambition
for the north China market, China Electronics News reported
yesterday.
Meanwhile, it announced that the informatization support
network and informatization solution bank of the northern branches have been
completed after one year's construction.
The existing China Telecom is
the southern China business of the former China Telecom, which was separated
last June by the country's telecom authority in its effort to break the latter's
long monopoly in China's telecom service.
After the breakup, its southern
branches remained as the existing China Telecom, while the northern businesses
were grouped into China Netcom Group.
Believing informatization is the
trend of the global telecom sector, China Telecom started work on the support
network and solution bank last May and pins its hope on the two as its core
competitive edge in the northern China market, the Sina.com report
said.
It based the support network on 70 percent of its backbone optical
fiber resources in northern China, according to officials with the company's
north telecom department.
And the company has absorbed experience from
home and abroad in the area and made the network more market-oriented with
world-class technologies, the officials said.
The network has covered all
the 106 cities of the company's northern China branches.
China Telecom
will soon unveil this support-network-based informatization business with its
northern branches and launch the "Always with you" promotion for these new
branches, the China Electronics News report said.
