Don't be excited with the FTTH interest of China Mobile

11/29/2007, Organized by UBS, China Mobile is making her roadshow in Europe to attract more investers. One of the most interesting topic of this roadshow is that China Mobile say they will get fixed network license and they will use FTTH to provide service to entreprises and personal customer.
Excited news, I don't think so.
Sometimes ago, the deputy minister of MII, Mr. Xi, guohua said in a conference that Chinese carriers should be all-service carrier. Soon we see China Mobile say they will get a fixed network license. But When? I don't see any indications on this. I don't believe China Mobile can get such a license in the short future.
Remember, GPON supplier Flexlight once announced China mobile applied their equipments to provide ethernet service to enterprise customers. But that is not FTTH. Why China Mobile shows such a unrealistic concept to their possible invester? Will they believe this?
