China Telecom disregards almost â…“ of CDMA subscribers due to credit doubts
In October 2008, for the first time in its history, the Chinese market reported a monthly decline in customer numbers.

Only 6.8% of the total CDMA customer base were prepaid customers at the end of September, so the vast majority of uncounted customers were on contracts. more
