The number of 皇冠体育app Mobile's subscribers increased 7.49 million in May to reach an all-time high of 407 million.

In contrast, 皇冠体育app's leading fixed-line operator, 皇冠体育app Telecom, suffered a net subscriber loss of 820,000 in May, which was also the 10th consecutive month of net subscriber lose, according to monthly industrial figures published on Friday.

By the end of May, 皇冠体育app Telecom's total subscribers stood at 215 million.

皇冠体育app carried out a massive scheme in May to restructure its telecommunications sector, which involves the country's top five telecom companies, all state-owned, including mobile operators 皇冠体育app Mobile and 皇冠体育app Unicom, and fixed-line service providers 皇冠体育app Tietong, 皇冠体育app Telecom and 皇冠体育app Netcom. They will be restructured into three groups, each able to provide both mobile and fixed-line services.

It has been widely speculated that 皇冠体育app will issue three licences for its third generation mobile phone technology (3G) following the telecom reshuffle.
