Chinese telecommunications market is led by the state-owned companies. The history of telecom development in China tells us that once it has been for only one company, China Telecom, to have power in the sphere, but the customers and world tendencies required some competition. Thus, the government decided to introduce several competitors to the market, which were, however, partly unable to fight huge and powerful China Telecom. Still, this provided state-controlled competition and an increase in service quality. The two main China Telecom competitors are now represented by China Unicom and China Mobile, these are responsible for mobile service distribution in the country. To act in the market the companies have to get a licence, offered by the government. With China's entrance to WTO (World Trade Organization) foreign companies have gained access to the Chinese market, which provided its further development. However, the companies are limited in their rights here, especially, they are not allowed to create joint ventures with Chinese companies. However, the former ones provide healthy competition.
The competition in the market and its regulation is provided by Ministry of Information Industry. China telecom market has the largest customer stock in the world. The sphere is highly supported by the government and strengthened by its investments. Their aim is to increase the usage and widen the coverage of both landline and mobile telephone services. Internet is provided through state-owned company subsidiaries, namely, China Telecom and others. The widely used technology is ADSL, with wireless LAN also gaining success. However, mobile service represents nearly half of profit in the market. Internet usage in China is regulated by special authorities. For filtering content available to its users the state-owned ISPs implement IP blocking, URL filtering, DNS filtering and so on. Internet censorship in China comes under the name of Golden Shield Project. Telecoms also gain their profit by SMS, MMS and VoIP service. Surprisingly, fixed-line telephony is responsible only for 5 percent of revenue. For conveying the services to its customers the companies use both GSM and CDMA technologies. China is also a place where popular cellular phones are made, namely, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens and so on.
