China adopts global 3G standards

China's Ministry of Information Industry approved on Wednesday the use of European and American standards for 3G mobile phones, the Chinese news agency Xinhua reported today via ZDNet.

"... No 3G licences have been awarded as yet. Although TD-SCDMA had been approved in 2006, global manufacturers have been reluctant to produce handsets for the standard, with only Samsung and Motorola developing products."
