China Mobile built a whopping 720,000 4G base stations in 2014, covering all cities/towns and villages on the East Coast. Average of over 10mn 4G subscriber new add per month in 2H14 driven by tariff subsidy and better network coverage. The maturity of 4G smartphone technologies helped to push 4G penetration. China Mobile sold over 100mn 4G smartphones in 2014.
And on the Other Hand Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Jio Infocomm has been talking and talking and I wonder if their coverage has even reached a pathetic 1/10th of what China Mobile has achieved ?
