From economic view II: Global cooperation

A new standard’s development need global cooperation. When Chinese government began to establish TD-SCDMA network, international companies and organizations begin to cooperate from different aspects using various means. Some important meetings and cooperation are listed as follows:

During the journey of Korean President Lee Myung Bak in China in May 2008, he visited the TD-SCDMA cooperation project of SK and Datangmobile. He expressed the interests of TD-SCDMA and the wishes to cooperate with China in this area.

The Fifth Chinese-German Forum for Economic and Technological Cooperation was held in Berlin on January 29, 2009. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao pointed out that TD was nearly the most important content of its electronics and communication working group meeting. TD-SCDMA has dramatic development, especially large scale commercial services. China will cooperate with some famous companies like BITKOM, Deutsche Telekom AG and Nokia Siemens Networks and Chinese ICT industry shows open and international attitude in the global ICT ecology environment.

Not only the mainland of China, also Taiwan is interested in this technology. Taipei, June 5, 2009 (CENS)--The Taiwan government-backed Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and the mainland China government-held Datang Telecom Technology Co. signed a letter of intent to co-open a network in Taiwan to specifically field test and verify Taiwan-made TD-SCDMA equipment. The cooperation aims at the mainland`s lucrative 3G TD-SCDMA market, which has begun taking shape since the mainland launched the service last month. Industry watchers estimate the mainland will have at least 300 million 3G subscribers in 2013.[1]

Agilent Technologies and Datang Telecom Technology announced the companies signed an agreement to collaborate in the development of TD-SCDMA and related technologies in the test and measurement areas. The work will significantly propel the TD-SCDMA, industry chain and global competitive environment for this important technology. [2]

Obviously, standardization promotes international trade. TD-SCDMA attracts global attention, global cooperation and global competition. Only be accepted by more and more international companies and competing with other standards in worldwide market, TD-SCDMA can be seen as a successful standard.
