2009, is the year of 3G in China.  With the issuance of official 3G licenses, three local telecom giants China Mobile (TD-SCDMA), China Unicom (WCDMA) and China Telecom (CDMA2000) are all now geared up to roll out the massive development plan for local 3G services.  The growing demand for 3G phones and rising competition are all main drivers for a promising future for 3G phones manufacturers.  However, the stability of signals, costs of using 3G services and which new 3G handset to buy are just some of the key concerns voiced by consumers.  What are consumers’ perceptions toward 3G?  What are the key factors that will most likely influence their purchase decisions?  And, what are their level of interest in buying a 3G phone?  China Polling has launched a national survey to help us to understand all of the above questions and much more.
