The Philippines is the archipelago country, is for the mobile service high speed development, after having realized in 1994 the telecommunication liberalization, Philippines mobile phone service E585 rapidly expand, advantageous, the solid catches fish is excessively only the comparison high develops slowly as the cost. By the end of 2006, Philippines's user quantity's mobile phone number 43,000,000 households, the popular rate is 50%, prepaid expenses' family's proportion reaches as high as approximately 90%; At the same time, Philippines's solid words user's telephone number is: Only the approximately 300 households, and drop year by year. In this aspect, Philippines's fixed-line telephone operators no longer expanded the network, but carries on the reconstruction to them, provides the wide band service for the user. Now the Philippine fixed-line telephone network capacity's use factor approximately is 50%, the main operator's backbone network had already realized the digitization. This bill is wide band operation market main melody Philippines operator quantity is numerous, the main solid net operator has the state-operated telecommunication company Philippines Long-distance telephone call Company, Digitel, INNOVE and the Bayan telecommunication company. These 4 fixed operator's number of users sum total approximately composes the entire market the three-dimensional word 90%, the main operator has the bill closure, SMART and PILTEL, its user quantity's sum total bill approximately composes the entire market 95% bills. The Philippine Government will plan in the future 3 ? 5 years, these main operators 5,000,000,000 to 70.100 US dollars investments develop their network, this will start between the mobile equipment provider new round to compete inevitably. At present, China's Hua Wei, the resurgence as well as Nokia, Ericsson, Aerkate, Cisco, Fujitsu, north the electricity and Gao Tonghe and so on international giant already entered Philippines's mobile equipment market. The Philippine Long-distance telephone call Company is the Philippine tradition entire service operator, at present still occupied the market dominant position in fixed and the two-way charges for cellular phones market the approximately 60% proportions. At present, the Philippine Long-distance telephone call Company develops 3G, next generation network, wireless wide band and optical fiber network positive appraisal. in 2006, mainly grows 41% in the Philippine Long-distance telephone call consolidation of corporation in 2005 capital outlay, amounts to 211.100 pesos (44,000.1 US dollars), is constructing the 3G modem network, 150,000 next generation networks, 2300 wireless wide band base depots as well as dilatancy Philippines country use digit optical fiber network majority. in 2007, was still higher than 200.10 pesos, the Philippine Long-distance telephone call Company's capital outlay, probably is 200.10 ? 220.100 pesos (420,000,000 ? 46,000 spot 〇 〇 〇 ten thousand US dollars). The Philippines first big moved operator SMART the way and third big mobile communication operator PILTEL is the Philippine Long-distance telephone call Company and the Subordinate company, the Philippine Long-distance telephone call corporate capital total amount was already intelligent, but intelligent PILTEL92.1% stock. By the end of 2006, the intelligent user cardinal number already surpassed 25,000,000, including 17,600,000 “the intelligent buddy”, “intelligent gold medal” and “intelligence infinite” the service user, as well as PILTEL has 7,400,000 “course ' ntext” user. PILTEL was the Philippines first two-way charges for cellular phones service camp manages business in 2004 SMART the end of the year, already purchased the PILTEL shareholder's right, the combine and it talks over the telephone &apos to be most; ntext brand. Promoted the GSM service in 1999 SMART, participated in 2006 February has taken the lead in the Philippines to demonstrate, has implemented the WCDMA service, and in May video frequency telephone conversation, content downloading and the network glanced over 1 free provides the service and so on the same year the forward user. Up to April, 2006, the intelligent WCDMA user approximately is 100,000 households. At the same time, but also coordinated intelligent Nokia to complete the HSDPA system's test, the initial period has planned the host to push the HSDPA transmission card, has won the high-end commerce user. GLOBETELECOM is the Philippine second big migration operator, at the end of 2006 15,700,000 mobile subscribers, 95% family user prepaid expenses, the creation income has approximately composed the gross income 77%. in 2006, Earth's capital outlay grand total is 14,830,000,000 pesos (308,000,000 US dollars), is mainly in the 2G network dilatancy and USB modem's 3G network construction land. By the end of 2006, Earth 2G network has covered Philippine 94% and 98% population area, the total 3G standpoint has achieved 5884,2005 5159 grew 14%. in 2007, the Earth pays the E585 approximately 30,005.10 US dollars capitals, is deepening the 2G network cover, the acceleration wide band network deployment and the promotion essential 3G facility use. Constructs in November, 2006 in the 3G network, the acceleration is getting bigger and bigger, along with to the wide band tetherless access's demand, the user is bigger, Philippine Country Telecommunication Committee (NTC) in the agreement uses 2300 - 2400MHz and 3300 - 3400MHz the frequency band WiMAX promotion and the application. Has prepared 5 3G license plate board in the NTC grand total, three assignment's WCDMA operators, other two appoint CDMA2000 and the independent TDD operator. SMART and the global plan in December leading role, the WCDMA license plate which in 2005 obtains, in 2006 January established (CONNECTIVITYUN LIMITEDRESOU RCESENTERPRISES) with the operator DIGITEL solidification also to adopt the NTC confirmation newly, has obtained the 3G license plate. According to the Philippine Government's stipulation, obtains the 3G license plate's operator completes before 2007 the 3G network construction, most last ten days of the month starts in 2008 to provide the 3G service, and in five years in which, when 3G service start, the coverage fraction must achieve 80%. After welcome the Chinese telecommunication, entered “the trade in services agreement” China and the ASEAN country signs the association, the Philippines reduces the Chinese Enterprise to enter this country market and the commercial service, the telecommunication, the construction and the project, the environment and the traveling threshold value and so on. In Chinese operator this is the turning point, enters the condition, very little uses 3G the foreign capital to start to start, the attempt has developed Philippines's next generation telecommunication services market internationalization accumulation experience. In E585 the telecommunication equipment market aspect, the Chinese manufacturer and so on is bright in China, the resurgence already entered the Philippine market. in 2005, Philippine telecommunication operator SunCellular reaches as high as this company's cost of investment high 20,000.1 US dollar dilatancy project to give China, this project mainly additionally builds 700 two-way charges for cellular phones base depot.

Should we wait for TD-LTE to spread wireless broadband?

http://www.3gmodem.com.hk/Huawei/E585.html

Is long term evolution time division duplex (TD-LTE) the best technology available for rollout of wireless broadband services in India?

The question assumes significance in the context of the low penetration of wireless broadband in the country and the urgent need to improve this to a level in sync with the huge potential, and the preference shown by some operators for this new, but untested, technology.

TD-LTE lies on the evolution path of time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), a technology driven by the Chinese government, and is therefore widely known as a standard originated from China. Most patents related to TD-LTE are owned by Chinese vendors and top positions in standard bodies related to TD-LTE are dominated by them, which means standardisation can be delayed or specifications can be modified in their favour.

If TD-LTE keeps growing this way, the whole telecommunication industry could be jeopardised and might end up relying on Chinese vendors.

It is questionable if the TD-LTE ecosystem formed by Chinese vendors is robust E585 and sustainable enough to continue its technology development and a wide adoption of the technology.

So far, only a few operators including China Mobile have expressed their will to adopt TD-LTE technology. Considering the time to develop TD-LTE products, the earliest availability of comercial products in the market will be around 2012.

Although China Mobile is the largest mobile operator by subscriber base, it is still doubtful how many subscribers they can have by 2012 when wireless broadband market enters into a mature stage.

This situation has put Indian operators, who have finally acquired broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum, in a very worried and anxious state. A total of $8.2 billion was paid by the six winners during the BWA auction. According to recent news, they have to pay interest costs of about $36 million every month. Winners of BWA auction in India are eager to recover this huge amount of investment by launching their services as early as possible.

But it isn’t just the industry that’s suffering on account of the delay, but the nation at large. And how?

Well, the government plans to raise the broadband subscriber base in the country to 100 million by 2014 from just 7 million (penetration 0.6%) now. This is expected to boost the economy by invigorating the telecommunication industry and creating jobs. As E585 per a recent World Bank estimate, a 10% growth in broadband penetrations leads to a 1.3% increase in the gross domestic product of a nation.

TD-LTE, currently in an initial stage of development, does not seem mature enough to satiate the needs of the telecom operators or the government. Even in China, though some tests are underway, no commercial base station or terminal is available at this point.

So, should India seize a chance to leapfrog its economy by expanding broadband coverage with a mature wireless technology available today? Or, should it continue to remain waiting for tomorrow for a new and untested technology and thus lose the opportunity? I would go with the first choice.
