China Mobile Communications Corp, the parent of China Mobile Ltd, plans to invest over 15 bln yuan to build TD-SCDMA networks in 2007.

China Mobile will complete the construction of 8,602 TD-SCDMA base stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Qinhuangdao, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen before October this year. It will also complete the purchase of core TD-SCDMA equipment before end-May.

China Mobile will take over and combine the partially completed TD-SCMDA networks of China Telecom in Shanghai and China Netcom in Beijing, though no further details on this were given.

China Telecom and China Netcome are expected to spend one bln yuan each on expanding their own TD-SCDMA networks in Baoding and Qingdao respectively.
