Mobile phone operators — Mobilink and CMPak (China Mobile) — claimed crossing one million subscribers for each of 3rd Generation (3G) and Fourth Generation (4G) users.
A subsidiary of China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC), Zong celebrated a milestone of one million 3G and 4G customers it achieved last month.
The company was offering Super 3G service which was capable of providing speed up to 42 Mbps — twice as fast as normal 3G — to its users.
Telecom experts said 3G adaptation has been tremendous during early months considering the limited coverage from telecom operators in the country. More than 2.9 million subscriptions in five months was more than what service providers were expecting.
The newly introduced 3G and 4G services witnessed a reasonable response as its subscription reached more than 2.9 million users since its launch.
