中国发放3G牌照尚无时间表
中国信息产业部副部长娄勤俭昨日表示，中国第三代移动通讯(3G)牌照的发放还没有时间表，并指出3G服务仍然缺乏明确的业务模式。
China has no timetable for issuing third-generation mobile telephone licences, a senior regulator announced yesterday, saying 3G services still lacked a clear business model.
娄勤俭的话清楚表明，中国官方并不急于把3G无线服务引入这个全球最重要的电信设备市场之一。
The comments by Lou Qinjian, vice-minister of information industry, make clear officials are in no rush to introduce 3G wireless services in one of the world’s most important markets for telecoms equipment.
国际电信设备制造商多年来一直在热切期盼中国批准3G。一旦批准，估计会在中国掀起巨大的移动网络设备采购浪潮。
International equipment manufacturers have for years keenly awaited Chinese approval for 3G, which is expected to unleash a multibillion-dollar spending wave on mobile networks.
娄勤俭在中共十七大期间的一次记者招待会上表示，尽管3G技术在国际上已经“成熟”，但“目前尚未有很好的”运营模式与后续发展能力。这种记者招待会在中国共产党的全国代表大会上比较少见。
While 3G technology was “mature” internationally, its operating model and capacity for future development were “still not that great”, Mr Lou said in a rare news conference held to mark the congress of China's ruling Communist party in Beijing.
娄勤俭表示：“真正发牌还要考虑运营模式问题和各种管理问题，目前这些问题还在研究过程中。”
“To actually issue licences, we need to consider the business model and all kinds of management issues ? and we are still in the process of researching these,” Mr Lou said.
