Going slow on high-speed mobile

H-share China Telecom Corp said it would go cautiously rolling out its third-generation (3G) mobile network once it gets its operating license. CTC President and COO Chang Xiaobing said the company's 3G budget is �substantially lower� than RMB 90 billion, which media reports said the telecom planned to spend building a nationwide network. Chang said the carrier would open up high-speed mobile services only where there was a clear demand. The company has yet to divulge how the network will be paid for or which 3G technology it will support.
