Abstract:

Since the economic reform and opening-up in the late 1970s,as one of the economic bachbones,the telecommunication industry has been leading the development of the national economy. However, in 2007, its revenue growth went below the GDP growth for the first time, and the gap continued to widen after 2008. Why did the telecom industry's role change from leading to lagging the national economy? Will the telecom industry regain its leading role in the national economic development? What are the new growth factors in the telecom industry? We try to use the case study of China Mobile Group Hubei Company to examine the prospect opportunities and the future direction in the telecom industry.
