Technology: CDMA Development Group supports China's telecommunications restructuring plan

Reorganized telecom sector will encourage differentiation between the differing wireless technologies and increase competition

ADVISORY (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --

WHAT:
The CDMA Development Group (CDG) expressed its support for the recently announced restructuring of China's telecommunications industry, further adding that it believes the new structure will catalyze the fair distribution of 3G licenses and further increase the growth of CDMA in China. The company issued the following statement:

"The CDMA community supports the restructuring of China's telecommunications industry and believes it will lead to the licensing of 3G services, further stimulate healthy competition and build economies of scale for CDMA in China, as well as around the world through increased exports. The performance and flexibility of CDMA2000(r) networks have enabled operators to
rapidly and cost-effectively deploy telephony services and new capabilities such as high-speed wireless broadband Internet access, highly accurate location-based services and essential public safety services. The CDG plans to be an active participant in meeting the demand for these services in China through the continued expansion of the country's CDMA2000 network," stated Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG.

Executives from the CDG are available to provide commentary regarding its support of China's telecommunications industry restructuring, including the positive effect the CDG believes this restructuring will have on innovation, competition and the growth of CDMA in China and around the world.
