China Telecom Plans to Offer Wireless Service in U.S. in 20129
If you are going to start a new mobile service provider in the U.S. it helps to have a clear niche, and that is what China Telecom Corp. seems to be thinking. China Telecom says it will start selling a wireless service to U.S. consumers under its own brand early next year, seeking to sign up Chinese-Americans, students and tourists who travel often between the two countries.

Wireless Substitution: in China
China Telecom, the nation's largest fixed line company, reported a decline of 2.7 million local access lines in 2007, as a result of great competition from wireless carriers. The number of fixed line subscriptions fell by 1.48 million in December, its fifth consecutive monthly loss, to takes China Telecom’s total to 220.3 million.
China Mobile added 68.1 million users in 2007 to take its total to 369.3 million, while Unicom added 18 million subscribers to reach 160.3 million subs.
Fixed line substitution isn't just a problem occurring in North America and Europe, apparently.

328.7 Billion VoIP Minutes in Third Quarter
Service providers worldwide recorded an estimated traffic volume of 328.7 billion VoIP minutes during the third quarter, according to iLocus. Of those minutes 72.3 billion were local, 232 billion were national long distance and 24.4 billion were used for international long distance.
About 69.1 billion of those minutes were retail, 3.2 were wholesale local VoIP (white labeling, for example).
There is about 10 percent double counting in national long distance and about 20 percent double counting in international long distance. Double counted minutes are those minutes where the same call is being relayed by two or more carriers and counted as traffic by each one of them.
The top five service providers ranked by minutes were China Telecom, China Netcom, AT&T, China Mobile and Qwest.
