"When government's LTE development and licensing policy are not clear while peers already compete for 3G markets, China Telecom should use the window time to enhance its 3G branding and network quality to compete against HSPA+ with DORB, before the LTE license is issued. At the same time, in light of the huge LTE investment and to protect the mid- and long-term investment, China Telecom should increase its input in DORB to avoid investment conflict with LTE," Jason Shen, senior analyst, Services and Telecommunications Research, IDC China.
