4G牌照定案，中移動馬不停蹄，將于12月18日在廣州發表4G服務品牌，並同步啓動iPhone銷售。

The rollout of iPhones is expected to start later this month, around the time of a Dec. 18 China Mobile conference in Guangzhou. At the Dec. 18 event, China Mobile plans to unveil a brand for its fourth-generation, or 4G, network.


China Mobile 4G LTE build-out is key to iPhone demand. Given Apple's high price point relative to the Chinese market, our concern about the quality of China Mobile's TD-LTE network, China Mobile's reliance on more of its Wi-Fi than cellular network, and the success of lower-end Android phones in China, we tend to lean more toward the lower end of iPhone unit shipments in (fiscal) 2014, or about 10-15 million iPhone units in (calendar year) 2014 for China Mobile.

We believe that Apple could sell 17 million total iPhones on China mobile in the 2014. The 17 million unit sales would represent about 2% of China Mobile’s total subscriber base (759 million in October) or 10% of the 3G sub base (176 million).
