China to Have 69 Million Wireless Internet Users by 2004

China will have 69 million people to use mobile phones to access Internet by 2004, predicted by Monday's China Business Times.

Considering the trend of convergence between mobile communications and the Internet, the next few years will see rapid development in the number of wireless Internet users, said the paper.

The Beijing-based paper predicted that by the year 2004, the number of mobile phone users in China will be 236 million and Internet users will reach 120 million.

China is now sparing no effort to promote the upgrade of the current second generation of mobile telecommunications, the GSM, to the third generation characterized by a wide-band network and

data transferring, providing great opportunities for the development of the mobile Internet, said the paper.

China Mobile, the country's largest mobile telecommunications operator, has been charging ahead with wireless application protocol (WAP) services. WAP is a specification that provides easy, secure access to relevant Internet information and other services through mobile devices in a cost-effective manner.
