In February, Wang Jianzhou, China Mobile's chairman and CEO, told Business Standard at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that the company was keen to expand to India. China Mobile has over 450 million subscribers. RCom, which offers CDMA mobile telecom services and started GSM services a few months ago, has over 70 million customers. An RCom spokesperson declined to comment and an email query to China Mobile was unanswered.
This is the first time the world's largest mobile operator in terms of the number of subscribers has expressed an interest in India. Chairman and CEO Wang Jianzhou declined to comment on whether they were already in talks with any Indian operator. He however said the approach would be cautious since the domestic market still presented huge potential for growth.
Vishal Gondal CEO, Indiagames Ltd has been listed among top 50 executives in mobile content space by 'Mobile Entertainment' magazine.
China on Friday officially launched the world's first dual-mode mobile phones, which function in both GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) networks.
