Abstract
China Telecom is China' s largest fixed line telecommunications operator. As of
the end of September 2006, China Telecom had 221 million fixed line
subscribers, of which 64 million were PHS subscribers; the company had 27
million broadband subscribers. Although China Telecom' s subscriber base
remains large, the replacement effect of mobile phones has caused revenue from
traditional voice service to fall, and subscriber growth has also slowed.
While continuing to look for ways to boost subscriber growth, China Telecom
has also been introducing new services, particularly focusing on IPTV
services. This report will examine China Telecom' s developments in IPTV
services.
