China Unicom has registered the "Double 4G" trademark, and plans to invest 2.68 billion yuan in marketing expenses.
The construction of 4G networks in 293 cities has been completed, and FDD licenses are expected to be issued in June+February, 5438.
Zhang Zhijiang, general manager of China Unicom's network construction department, told Yi that China Unicom is currently deploying TDD/FDD hybrid networking in 237 cities, in addition to the 56 TDD/FDD trial commercial cities required by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. "But before the approval of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, only the network will be built and users will not be developed." The purpose is to quickly form a 4G commercial capability after obtaining a license in the future.
It is learned from internal channels that relevant departments have begun to prepare for the issuance of FDD licenses. If there are no accidents, it will be released next month. If 65438+February is successfully approved, even if the competent authorities have not officially issued the FDD commercial license, it will be the same for most users, and the monopoly of China Mobile's 4G will change.
