The solution for breaking up China Telecom which had been discussed over one year was settled at !ast China Telecom would be divided into southern and northern parts. The 10 provinces (cities and regions) in the north, China Netcom and Jitong constitute China Netcom Corporation. The 21 provinces (cities and reglons) in the south will be grouped as China Telecommunications Corporation after the break-up. Those two re-organized corporations still maintain the existing businesses of China Telecom and are allowed to establish the locat telephone networks and operate the local fixed-line services in each other's service^ areas. Both parties will offer reciprocal services such as equitable access The southern and northern parts will own 70% and 30% of the national backbone transmission network respectively in terms of the number of fibers and channel capacity as well as the whole local telephone networks in their own service areas The telecom market in China after this re-organization will present the new competition pattem with China Telecom, China Mobite China Netcom China Unicom, ChinaSat and China Railcom as the main operators, namely the pattern of '5+1'. in this new pattem. China Mobite is Nlo.1 in the market in terms of business revenue China Telecom No.2,:and the new China Netcom No.3. Which one is more powerful and more competitive, we have to wait and see.
