What Chinese talk in telecom BBS:March 15 2010

March 15,2010, If you want to know more about what happened in China's telecom industry, you not only need to notice news releases, or reports from journalist, you also need to notice what those netizens write on some internet bulletin board and blogs. Sometimes they are a very useful and interesting information source. From today, we will try to collect some contents from telecom BBS in China to help you further understand this industry.

1) About telecom service providers
China Mobile invested Pudong Development Bank. A netizen from SOHU wrote:” This is really a strategy investment; it will influence the future of telecom industry in China. "
About Unicom's WCDMA network. There is a popular thread called "Unicom destroys WCDMA by 3 gunshots". Which 3 gunshots, the first one, wrong person on the position, the 2nd, blind adjustment, the 3rd, bad management. WCDMA has more technology advantage compared to two other 3G technologies, but it seems Unicom can’t change this technology advantage into her profit advantage.

2)About equipment suppliers

If Commerce Ministry will approve that HP purchases Huawei 3Com, it is still a question. A netizen from C114 wrote:"if the merge is approved, HP will have more than 65% market share on high-medium end datacom products. in China. It is not a good thing to the info security of China because H3C's products have been already deployed in many governments. "

Is it a good choice to go to work in Huawei from a foreign enterprise in China? A thread from Tianya gave a NO answer. The reasons include too many extra works, too high pressure, not humanity managements.

It is really the same with a US company.

A C114 thread compared the job service of Erission, Nokia Siemens and Alcatel-Lucent's Chinese website, and found Erission provides better service than other 2 competitors. Some other authors pointed out that Alcatel-lucent China adopts 51jobs.com (A Chinese job website)'s OEM services in this field, that is the reason they did worse job compared to others.
