For those of you that didn’t believe that ZTE are a force to be reckoned with (both in devices, and infrastructure), here’s more proof – they recently won (part of) a contract with China Telecom, estimated to be $1.5bn! And the scary thing is that this contract is apparently a taster to a much bigger tender of $10bn!
Interestingly, ZTE hasn’t got the whole cake to itself – Huawei (another massive Chinese infrastructure vendor), and AlcaLu have also grabbed some fiscal goodies.
Telecoms-wise, China is where it’s at for sales right now – barely a day has gone past recently without an announcement about wins for Chinese companies, be it in the domestic market, or abroad.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
