China Mobile Now Largest Mobile Operator

Filed in archive Operators by Scott on August 13, 2006

Why is this logo so big, you ask? Because it's owner is. According to the Manchester Evening News, China Mobile, only 6 years old, moved ahead of Vodafone as the world's largest mobile operator in terms of value. The swap came as a result of the two companies' shares moving different directions in the market based on recent financial results. China Mobile now has a market value of roughly $132 billion, ahead of Vodafone's $109 billion.

The interesting issue of course is that Vodafone is a global busines, where China Mobile is operating in a single country with a very immature links

domestic market. What do these numbers tel you about the market's expectations for China as a source of growth vs. the developed world?

Add your response to China Mobile Now Largest Mobile Operator: Response from: Equi But there is some miserable fact - China is the biggest country in the world by population. Even if it has just 3 operators each can handle more than 100 mln people Response from: NoWires Interesting development indeed. Besides the perceived growth potential of the Chinese telecom market, there are clearly other factors at work here. I believe the near monopoly position China Mobile enjoys in the Chinese market is the more important contributor to the market valuation. http://nowires.wordpress.com/2006/08/ Response from: Parag Desai I happy to say that Chinese handsetsare availabe in India also Response from: ramata i need a list for the mobile topup and mobile payment comapnies like this one (www.telepin.com) but ordered with size or by service any one knows Response from: IT Blogwatch Be afraid. Be very afraid. It's IT Blogwatch, in which malware spreads, but Windows Update is broken. Not to mention the best magic card trick in the world...
