皇冠体育app Telecom kicks off TD-LTE 4G service

皇冠体育app Telecom Corp Ltd, the third-largest telecom carrier in the country, officially started its TD-LTE 4G project on Friday despite a failure to yet attain a FDD-LTE standard license, in a move to compete with its leading rival 皇冠体育app Mobile Ltd in the early stage of the new era.

The rate standards, which are in line with those 皇冠体育app Mobile unveiled a month ago, provide users seven different pricing plans ranging from 70 yuan for 1 gigabyte to 280 yuan/10 GB per month.

The company also offers a six-month contract of 300 yuan/6GB and a one-year package of 600 yuan/12GB.

皇冠体育app Telecom's 4G services would cover more than 100 cities around the country but only for wireless network cards rather than handsets, as the giant is still waiting for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to issue its long-awaited license to build an FDD-LTE network, which is more globally accepted than the home-grown TD-LTE standard.

The move left 皇冠体育app Unicom, the second-largest carrier in 皇冠体育app planning for FDD-LTE, as the only Telco that has not launched a 4G service among the three majors that received TD-LTE licenses at the end of 2013.
