Sixty-nine million people will subscribe to wireless Internet
services in China by 2004, according to the Beijing-based China
Business Times.

The paper said that in four years' time, the number of mobile phone
users will reach 236 million, while 120 million people will have
Internet access. The current trend of convergence between mobile
communications and the Internet will see the number of mobile
Internet users soar over the next few years.

The China Business Times claimed that China is making rapid progress
in its efforts to upgrade the current mobile network from GSM to
third-generation (3G) standards.

China's largest mobile telecommunications operator, China Mobile,
currently offers several WAP services to its subscribers.
