		<description><![CDATA[Chunghwa Telecom Co. Ltd. (CHT) declared solid financial results for the third quarter of 2011. Quarterly total revenue was approximately $1,900 million, up 9.5% year over year. This improved performance was the combined result of increasing smartphone sales with continuously growing revenue from both mobile and Internet value-added services (VAS). In the previous quarter, smartphones constituted 45% of total handsets sold by Chunghwa. Third-quarter GAAP net income was approximately $406.8 million, down 0.2% year over year.  However, net earnings per ADR were 51 cents, up 5% year over year. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher net income and the capital reduction in January 2011, which reduced the total number of outstanding shares by 20%. Quarterly operating income was $473.3 million, down 3.9% year over year. Operating margin was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our long-term recommendation from Underperform to Neutral on China Unicom (CHU) based on strong 3G subscriber additions. China&#8217;s second largest mobile operator’s 3G business is performing well and reached 27 million subscribers at August end. The growth was primarily driven by Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone sales. With this, China Unicom has achieved its target of expanding its user base beyond 25 million by this year-end. Further additions would indicate growth prospects in China Unicom’s mobile 3G business, and will subsequently result in higher average revenue per user. We believe China Unicom continues to make significant progress in expanding economies of scale in 3G, broadband and other businesses that will likely improve its overall revenue and profitability. The company is also poised to benefit from the stabilization in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our Neutral recommendation on Chunghwa Telecom Co. Ltd. (CHT) following its solid performance in the second quarter of 2011. Chunghwa is the dominant telecom operator in Taiwan. It holds 80% of broadband market share, coupled with 96% of local fixed-line and 77% of long-distance fixed-line market share. The company also commands 34% of the Taiwanese wireless market share. A recent ruling of the Taiwanese government has changed the pricing right of a landline-to-mobile call in favor of the fixed-line operator from mobile operator. This shift in government policy boosted Chunghwa’s revenue. Management sets a yearly revenue target of approximately $7.6 billion by 2015, which will be an improvement of 16% from 2010. Chunghwa is trying hard to enter into the Chinese telecom market. The company is also eyeing ]]></description>

In April, China Unicom added 1.817 million subscribers reaching a total customer base of 20.352 million. This was less than 1.855 million customers added in March.

The company’s 3G business is performing well and is expected to sustain the momentum well into the future. 3G remains a compelling opportunity and represents the single biggest driver of the company’s long-term growth.

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Inc. (AAPL) reported stellar fourth quarter 2010 results with highest quarterly revenues and earnings in the company’s history, which blew past the bullish Zacks Consensus Estimate. The upbeat quarter results were fueled by strong iPhone sales, record Mac sales Incorporatedreased iPad sales and success of new product launches. Strong results are attributable to the thriving demand for the company&#8217;s iPhone and Mac, as unit shipments remain robust. Despite upbeat results, shares fell in after-hours trading by 6.13% or $19.50 to $298.50 as investors remained cautious on lower-than-expected iPad shipment and weaker gross margins. However, the outlook for the Mac, iPad and iPhone 4 remains extremely strong, backed by demand in the domestic and international markets, boosting Apple&#8217;s revenues and earnings.

But these days the company isn’t just making its own shareholders rich… it’s spreading the wealth elsewhere… China Unicom (NYSE: CHU) shot up more than 10% after inking a three-year contract with Apple in August. It’s now the exclusive iPhone service provider in China – which boasts an enormous cellular market of more than 800 million. Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) shares jumped 11% when Apple agreed to allow app developers to use its Flash software. Analysts raised their guidance on Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) after Apple ordered two million cell phone chips from the manufacturer. Shares are up more than 40% since July.

(AAPL) to sell its iPhone 4 and iPad in the South Korean market. SK Telecom&#8217;s major rival, KT Corp. (KT), enjoys an exclusive hold on iPhones in the South Korean markets. The iPad is not currently available in the region. If the talks between SK Telecom and Apple succeed, Koreans will have access to a second iPhone and first iPad carrier. Although Apple provides its iPhone exclusively through AT&#38;T Inc. (T) in the U.S., it is considering several carriers in international markets. The talk with SK ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China Unicom (CHU) has announced first-quarter 2010 results with net income plunging 68% year-over-year to RMB1.13 billion (US$165.7 million). This significant year-over-year decline in profitability is attributable to the high costs associated with 3G service deployments and network expansion, intense domestic competition and sustained erosion in fixed-line voice business. China Unicom contends with a highly competitive domestic wireless market. The company remains significantly challenged by the aggressive nationwide 3G service roll outs of its peers China Mobile (CHL) and China Telecom (CHA). Revenue Break-Down The second largest Chinese wireless carrier posted consolidated revenues of RMB40.4 billion (US$5.9 billion), up 6.6% year-over-year. Service revenues increased 4.6% year-over-year to RMB38.62 billion (US$5.7 billion), accounting for roughly 96% of total sales.

China Mobile recently forged a deal with Taiwanese carrier Far EasTone to jointly develop and test a high-speed mobile broadband network. According to a Taiwan-based media, China Unicom has reportedly visited the largest Taiwanese telecom carrier Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) and the country’s leading wireless retailer Senao International for future collaboration opportunities. Speculation suggests that Senao may open a retail distribution unit in Mainland China with China Unicom having a stake in the entity.

Far EasTone is Taiwan&#8217;s third-largest mobile-phone operator by revenue. Under the agreement, the companies will cooperate to construct a 4G trial network platform, which will offer a field-test environment for TD-LTE equipment and devices supplied by Taiwan-based vendors as well as China Mobile’s “Ophone&#8221; branded handsets. This represents an important step by the Chinese wireless behemoth, which planned to acquire a 12% stake in Far EasTone in April 2009 for roughly $554 million.

		<description><![CDATA[China Unicom (CHU) has announced 2009 results with reported earnings per ADS of 59 cents matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, net income plunged 73% year-over-year to RMB9.56 billion (US$1.4 billion). This significant year-over-year decline in profitability is partly due to sustained erosion in fixed-line voice revenues. Moreover, the prior year’s net profit was boosted by one-time gains from the sale of the carrier’s CDMA wireless business to rival China Telecom (CHA) as part of the restructuring of the Chinese telecom sector. Revenue Break-Down: Fixed Voice Drags Down Sales Consolidated revenues for 2009 reached RMB153.95 billion (US$22.6 billion), down 3.7% year-over-year due to weak contribution from the fixed-line voice business. Service revenues decreased 2.1% year-over-year to RMB149.59 billion (US$21.9 billion), accounting for 97% of total sales. Service revenue from the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China Telecom (CHA) announced 2009 results with adjusted earnings per ADS of US$2.40 missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of US$2.57. Adjusted earnings exclude amortization of upfront connection fees and impairment losses. The incumbent Chinese fixed-line operator reported an adjusted net income of RMB13.27 billion (US$1.95 billion), down 33.9% year-over-year. The drop in profit is primarily attributable to higher marketing expenses associated with the deployment of the company’s 3G wireless services and aggressive handset roll-outs. China Telecom reported a 47% year-over-year increase in SG&#38;A costs (including mobile handset subsidies). Reported net income of RMB14.42 billion (US$2.14 billion) or RMB0.18 per share (US$2.65 per ADS) represents an increase from RMB884 million (US$130 million) a year ago, which was hit by one-time impairment charges on Personal Handyphone System (PHS) assets and losses related ]]></description>

The carrier is currently working with Apple (AAPL) regarding this advancement. However, no specific timeline for the launch has been announced. This represents a major step by China Unicom, as lack of Wi-Fi support in the Chinese version of the iPhone has been a major hindrance in its wider market adoption. If the launch materializes, the company plans to compensate the current iPhone users (who lack Wi-Fi) by allowing greater use of its 3G network. China Unicom launched iPhones across 285 cities in mainland China in October 2009 under a three-year agreement. However, per the mandate by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), Apple and ]]></description>

The carrier has reportedly added 801,000 customers for its WCDMA technology based 3G services in Nov 2009, bringing its 3G subscriber base to 1.82 million. China Unicom expects to add around 1.2 million 3G subscribers in Dec 2009 to reach approximately 3 million in the current year. This will represent 20% share of China’s projected 3G user base of 15 million. China Unicom’s bigger rival China Mobile (CHL) is expected to register 5 million customers in 2009 for its 3G services based on the home-grown TD-SCDMA technology. China Unicom officially commenced the commercial roll-out of its 3G WCDMA services on Oct 1, 2009, across 285 Chinese cities. 3G represents the single biggest ]]></description>

The device has been supplied by the leading Chinese vendor Huawei Technologies. China Unicom plans to eventually expand the femtocell service to other Chinese markets. Femtocell is a mini cell tower which connects to the service provider’s network using broadband and is aimed at improving indoor network coverage (as much as 5,000 square feet), providing low-cost unlimited in-home voice calling plan and reducing monthly communication expenditure. Essentially, 2009 has been marked as the year of femtocell as leading telecom carriers across the globe are aggressively bidding to leverage this emerging market opportunity.

		<description><![CDATA[China Unicom (CHU), the second largest Chinese wireless carrier, has officially revealed that it has sold more than 100,000 iPhones since the device’s launch in late Oct 2009. The company had previously reported having signed only 5,000 iPhone customers in the first weekend after launch. China Unicom achieved a major milestone with the launch of Apple Inc’s (AAPL) iPhones (3G &#38; 3GS) across 285 cities in mainland China on Oct 30, 2009. The company inked a three-year agreement with Apple in Aug 2009 to distribute the popular handset in China. The reported sales number, although better than the device’s initial uptake, still remains unimpressive considering the booming Chinese mobile market (the world’s largest) with roughly 722 million subscribers. In comparison, iPhone sales had hit 270,000 units in the US in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The two largest emerging markets of the world, China and India have become the major growth driver for Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM). Despite being the largest CDMA mobile chipset developer of the world, the company is facing reverses in its top-line growth during 2009. Ongoing global economic recession that resulted in significant reduction of demand for mobile handsets is the primary reason for this disappointing performance. At this juncture, China and India are a silver lining for Qualcomm. Explosive growth of China’s home grown 3G (TDS-CDMA) technology has enabled Qualcomm to make up its losses in the developed nations. The three Chinese giants, namely China Mobile Ltd. (CHL), China Unicom Ltd. (CHU), and China Telecom Corp. Ltd. (CHA) together serve a massive 730 million mobile customers. Nearly 10% of these are ]]></description>

China Unicom and the Tibet autonomous regional government will work together to develop various IT-based sectors in Tibet, such as telecom infrastructure and E-government business, as well as the information infrastructure of small businesses and rural areas.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Smartphones have taken the handset market by storm. Demand for Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhones and BlackBerrys from Research in Motion Limited (Nasdaq: RIMM) have stayed strong, even through the economic downturn. It appears that no matter what, many people simply need their touch-screen, pocket-sized, multimedia gadgets. Sure, it costs a little bit extra to purchase a smartphone (as opposed to a “dumb” one, I guess), but consumers seem willing to splash the extra cash. Consider this… Three years ago, smartphones accounted for a mere 7% of the market. Today, that number has increased to 14%. In another three years, analysts expect it to rise to 50%, amounting to some 500 million smartphones sold worldwide. Research firm Garter expects regular handset sales to shrink ]]></description>

Earnings in the quarter were $1.82 per share, which also surpassed the company’s own guidance. This increased 44% from $1.26 per share reported in the year-ago period. Strong earnings were due to higher sales in the quarter, which increased 25% to $9.87 billion, representing the second highest revenue growth in the company’s history. The tremendous revenue growth was due to higher iPhone sales and increased Mac shipments in the quarter. Apple continues to gain market share in the three major hardware sectors – computers (with very significant gains in portables), music players and smartphones.

		<description><![CDATA[Chinese wireless giant China Mobile (CHL) is reportedly planning to spend more on 3G terminal subsidies in 2010. The company has tripled the amount of subsidies from the current year level and is expected to spend up to RMB30 billion (US$4.4 billion) next year. This move will enable the company to better compete with its Chinese peers in the domestic 3G space. China Mobile remains the leading player in the Chinese wireless market with 70% market share and more than 500 million subscribers. However, the company’s share of the new subscribers has dropped recently due to stiff competition from China Unicom (CHU) and the relatively new wireless player China Telecom (CHA) as they both operate internationally acclaimed 3G standard based networks.
