The move follows reports last week of a breakthrough in the long running negotiations that have pitted China Unicom against its rival, China Mobile — the world’s largest cell phone carrier — for exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in China.
NetworkWorld, which spotted the ads, points out that the information appeared only on the site of Unicom’s Shanghai branch, and did not whether the phone would be offered in China.
China's second-largest carrier, who has confirmed it is in talks with Apple, has 130 million subscribers. China Unicom is expected to launch its 3G/W-CDMA trials in May, which is popular outside China and supported by the iPhone 3G.
Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is a lot more than I expected for when I found a link on Delicious telling that the info is quite decent. Thanks.
