Coloring Ringback Tone Service Popular in China
The Coloring Ring BackTone Service is a value-added service which is becoming extremely popular among mobile phone users in China. Reports say more than 30 million mobile phone users, especially the young, have subscribed to the service, reports Realtime China.
"Some experts even say the fashionable service is leading the mobile phone and music economy that it is generating 100 million yuan revenue a month for mobile phone service carriers.
A bold prediction says in two years time, about 80 percent of cell phone users will subscribe the service and the monthly revenue can reach a billion yuan.
But some other experts are not so optimistic about the development of the service. According to Gao Bing is a professor with the Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, in general more people will use the service. But, remember that most are young people and fashion changes quickly."
