China's third-generation mobile technology ready for commercial use

China's own technology for "third generation" cellphones is ready for large-scale commercial use, the Financial Times has said, citing ZTE, the country's second largest telecom equipment maker. AFP reports.

"Equipment based on the Beijing-backed TD-SCDMA standard for 3G telecoms services could now operate comparably with that of the rival European-led WCDMA standard and the US-favored CDMA2000, ZTE President Yin Yimin told the newspaper.

... Even as China seeks to push its own technologies, it says it remains committed to opening its information and communication technology (ICT) industries to foreign investors."
