China Telecom Wraps up Two-Month Broadband Promotion

A flurry of broadband Internet surfing swept major Chinese cities over the past two months as China Telecom promoted a wide range of Internet connection methods, solutions and service packages among economic entities, institutions and residents.

The country's leading telecom carrier Friday concluded its "Speedy Broadband Tour," which promoted its Internet services in 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the nation.

According to industry experts, the move is of significance for developing e-administration, enriching content of broadband services and expanding the broadband telecom market in China. During the past two months, China Telecom offered a variety of broadband application solutions for such big customers as hotels, colleges and government departments, while also promoting cost-efficient services for smaller businesses.

The campaign also received participation from prestigious telecom operators, equipment manufacturers, Internet service providers and software developers such as Shanghai Bell-Alcatel, Huawei Technology, Microsoft (China) and Dell (China) Computer. The participants organized lectures, exhibitions and demonstrations of high-speed broadband Internet surfing and of interactive digital entertainment.

China Telecom has established a China Broadband Internet, which covers major Chinese cities and allows various broadband connection modes, including ADSL and WLAN.

Currently, broadband Internet is still a fledging telecom business in China, due in part to a lack of awareness among ordinary people and to insufficient content provided by such services.
