Beijing Firm to Launch CDMA iPhone 4S

Beijing Telecom may launch the CDMA version of the Apple Inc's iPhone 4S in China’s domestic market by the end of February or at the beginning of March, 2012. The pricing details are yet not disclosed.

It will ramp up the pressure on the company's domestic rivals in the fight to win more subscribers to the third-generation (3G) network service.

The China United Network Communications Ltd (China Unicom), China’s second-largest wireless carrier, is still the sole operator offering the Apple device on contract.

The iPhone craze has helped the carrier achieve the fastest-growing 3G user numbers in China, with over 40 million subscribers at the end of 2011.

Beijing Telecom is a subsidiary of the country's third-largest mobile phone operator China Telecom, which had 36.3 million 3G users till date, compared with 51.2 million for China Mobile Ltd.
