China Mobile Ltd., the Hong Kong listed subsidiary of state-owned China Mobile Corp has reported an 8.9% rise in its first half revenues to RMB212.9 billion (US$31.2 billion). Net profit rose by 1.4% to RMB55.3 billion (US$8.1 billion), while the company added 35.9 million net new subscribers over the six months.
The total customer base reached 493 million at the end of June 2009, of which, 959,000 were using the company's TD-SCDMA based 3G network.
EBITDA reached RMB110 billion, representing an increase of 5.8 per cent. over the same period of last year. Value-added business grew rapidly, continuing to increase its contribution to total revenue, accounting for 28.1 per cent. of the total revenue. For the six months ended 30 June 2009, the Group's total voice usage volume reached 1,387 billion minutes and the average minutes of usage per user per month (MOU) was 490 minutes. Average revenue per user per month (ARPU) was RMB75 (US$11).
The Board is of the view that the Company's favorable operating results and strong cash flow generating capability will continue to support the sustainable future development of the Company, while providing shareholders with a favorable cash return.
Although the company explicitly stated that it is committed to its 3G deployment, it added that it will work towards an LTE network. The statement will add fuel to the suspicion that the company's commitment to the home-grown TD-SCDMA standard is not whole hearted and that it is seeking to move as swiftly as possible to the more widespread LTE standard.
The company also confirmed that it will continue to seek out overseas investment opportunities.
ISLAMABAD (August 20 2009): Chairman, Senate Standing Committee on Interior, Senator Talha Mehmood, stated that the FIA's insistence that SBP should investigate all exchange companies is 'irrational,' as it will further aggravate the country's economy.Criticising recent decision on sugar price, he said that the government should investigate the sugar crisis and people involved in this scam should be taken to task. 'Sale of sugar at Rs 38 or 40 is affordable to people, but who allowed the sugar mafia to sell at Rs 60 or more rates, he asked.
Talha accused the International Monetary Fund (IMF) of interfering in Pakistan's internal matters saying, 'who is IMF to dictate terms to Pakistan, it is a small international organisation. IMF has given a loan to Pakistan, which will be returned, why IMF is dictating policy to Pakistan, as it does not make any sense?' Senator Talha queried.

China Mobile Communication Corporation is actively considering introducing solar power technology in Pakistan for electrifying cellular base stations of its subsidiary China Mobile Pakistan.
The move comes amid an acute power deficit and prolonged load-shedding in Pakistan.CMCC is already applying solar power technology at its 2,000 base stations, out of total 170,000, across China, the company’s Chief Executive, Wang Jianzhou, told a delegation of Pakistani media persons who visited the headquarters of China Mobile in Beijing recently.
Jianzhou said use of solar power technology was also part of the Green Action Plan of the company aimed at reducing pollution by emitting less carbon and consuming less energy. “We think that reducing hazardous emissions is an important goal of our company,” he said.
China Mobile Pakistan, in a drive to widen its network, has built 4,500 base stations for providing cellular phone services to its 6.5 million subscribers at 3,500 locations in the four provinces, Northern Areas and Azad Kashmir.
The CMCC chief said power crisis was one of the major hurdles in smooth functioning and growth of cellular phone companies in Pakistan where cell stations had to be equipped with electricity generators at all times, which increased operating costs. He cited higher taxes, high operating costs and import duties on equipment purchase as other major challenges for the cellphone operators in an environment where profit margins had been narrowing due to stiff competition.
Jianzhou, who is also Chairman and CEO of China Mobile Pakistan, said the company had been anxiously waiting for a Long Distance and International (LDI) licence from the Pakistan government in a bid to expand business in the first overseas venture of the company. “We will also try to improve management to reduce the operating cost of our business in Pakistan.
” He said by and large he was satisfied with doing business in a friendly environment in Pakistan where the market had a lot of potential for penetration and growth. “There is a big difference between the markets for cellular phone operators in Pakistan and China and the CMCC will gain a lot of experience by doing business in Pakistan.“This experience will benefit the largest cellphone company of the world a lot by helping it to expand its business to other parts of the globe.
”China Mobile Pakistan would further invest US$500 million by the end of the current year to propel growth of its cellular phone service, Zong, which was providing thousands of direct and indirect jobs. “So far the performance of Zong is in line with our expectations and we will do more to boost its output,” he said.
To a question, Jianzhou dismissed all reports as rumours about acquisition of other cellphone companies in the region by China Mobile Pakistan. “We will let you know whenever such development takes place,” he said.To another question, he said
CMCC had obtained this year a licence for offering hi-tech 3G (third generation) services to its subscribers in China. However, at present market and business conditions in Pakistan were not favourable to introduce such a state-of-the-art service there.
“China’s cellular phone market is at a more advanced stage with greater availability of modern infrastructure for introducing such high-end services for the consumers,” he said.
