CHINA'S MOBILE-PHONE DATA-SERVICE PROVIDERS
China has some 87 million Internet users, vs. 305 million mobile-phone users.
China's mobile-phone users send one another an average of 1 billion messages per day, paying an average cost of 1.2 cents to send a simple text message and 4.8 cents for a multimedia message.
According to Beijing-based telecom consultancy BDA, wireless-content providers will see the market more than double: from $361 million in 2003, to $783 million in 2004.
As a result, China Mobile, which has 70% of China's cell-phone subscribers has a strong interest in getting a bigger percentage on the current revenue sharing agreements with the data service providers like Sohu, Kongzhong, and Sina who still keep about 85% of billings from text and data messaging.
