摘要
China Mobile Ltd. (CHL) and China Unicorn (Hong Kong) Ltd. (CHU) will likely report weak 2009 results as intensifying competition has slowed subscriber growth and higher marketing and depreciation expenses for third-generation mobile services continue to weigh on their earnings. But rival China Telecom Corp. (CHA) will likely report a sharp rise in 2009 net profit mainly as its year-earlier result was bogged down by a huge impairment loss on assets associated with its low-cost, limited wireless service.
