China Telecom starts 3G video streaming

Content on offers includes live TV, video-on-demand and downloadable clips.

The new services have been launched following the implementation of an EVDO-bsaed video streaming platform for China Telecom by Nokia Siemens Networks.

It's the latest phase of China's much trumpeted - and much delayed - rollout of 3G services following the issuing of licenses earlier this year.

Last month, iSuppli predicted that spending on wireless infrastructure equipment in China will rise to $6.2 billion in 2009, up 13.2 per cent from 2008.

This compares to overall global carrier spending on wireless infrastructure, which is forecast to decline by 3.5 per cent in 2009 to $39.7 billion.

The Chinese growth is being driven by the country's 3G rollout, spearheaded by China Mobile, China Netcom and China Telecom.
