34 Days of OHA: Member Profiles in Alphabetical Order Day 5 – China Mobile Communications Corporation
Posted December 5th, 2007 by Jordan
For 34 days we'll be profiling one OHA member each day, in alphabetical order.
Company Name: China Mobile Communications Corporation
How the OHA site classifies them: Mobile Operator
What the OHA site says about them: Nothing. There's no blurb. Might be a translation issue.
What they do: Provide mobile service to more people than any other carrier in the world.
They have somewhere arounf two-thirds of the Chinese mobile market, which, according to Wikipedia, gives them 350 million customers. That's a lot. They also own Pakistan telecomunications company Paktel, which seems like an odd fit.
China Mobile is owned by the governmnet of the People's Republic of China, which may or may not be OK depending on how you feel about human rights and the decline of the West.
What they bring to OHA and Android: A massive subscriber base. Moral ambiguity.
