Once every 3 years the world of telecommunication comes together under the aegis of the United Nation’s International Telecommunication Union.
This year, any visitor would be struck by the massive presence of Chinese companies. Equipment manufacturers (like ZTE or Huawei) are displaying their latest technologies. Chinese operators have made the trip to Geneva as well – China Mobile is even a premium sponsor of the event.The presence of China Mobile and China Unicom can in part be explained by a public relations effort – showing [off] their technological savvy (3G, LTE). Part may be an effort to build brands for future market penetration.
Let’s see when the Swisscom and T-Mobile of this world will have to defend their home turf against China Mobile!
