Up, Up, and Away!

Its nice to see articles like this that support your ideas that Apple still has plenty of room to grow. Apple currently offers the iPhone through China Unicom.

"Apple Inc. fully supports China Mobile's next generation TD-LTE technology and talks are ongoing over a possible iPhone tie up with the carrier, China Mobile's chairman was quoted as saying," China Daily reports."China Mobile, the world's largest carrier by subscribers, has been negotiating for years with Apple to develop an iPhone that runs on TD-SCDMA, the home-grown standard it is using for its 3G network," China Daily reports.

"'We hope that when they develop the next-generation models, since Apple can create CDMA, they can also consider developing TD-SCDMA,' China Mobile Chairman Wang Jianzhou was quoted as saying on Wednesday by the Sina Technology news portal. 'These two years we have been discussing the issue. Right now the situation is moving forward. Apple has made it clear they will support TD-LTE,' Wang said in Davos, Switzerland."

China Mobile had 584 million mobile phone subscribers in December last year while China Unicom had 167.4 million.
