"Both from absolute numbers and the growth rate, China is the biggest telecom market in the world now," says Jonathan Dharmapalan, partner at Ernst & Young and head of the firm's telecoms practice in Beijing. "So most future innovations in the industry are going to be played out here, and most of the groundbreaking thinking is going to happen here." Six months on, the industry has indeed seen big changes. China Mobile, the market leader, has absorbed the small player China Tietong.
“從絕對數和增長率兩方面來看,中國都是目前全球最大電信市場,”安永(Ernst & Young)合伙人及北京電信業務主管喬納(Jonathan Dharmapalan)表示,“因此,該行業未來的大部分創新將在這里上演,多數突破性思維將在這里誕生。”6個月過去了,中國電信業的確發生了巨大變化。市場龍頭中國移動(China Mobile)已合并了規模較小的中國鐵通(China Tietong)。
