China, being the largest telecommunication market on the world, has always been sticking to their own TD-SCDMA high-speed 3G solution, as that helped them avoid paying large sums of licensing fees. The CDMA 2000 and UMTS (W-CDMA) solutions used all over the world have finally become officially usable in China, which can be a great advantage when roaming for both Chinese residents and those who are visiting China. How 3G will spread in China is still questionable, as with an earlier launch of LTE, expenses regarding new network developments could be avoided.
