HTC relying on 3G handsets for business growth in China in 2009, says CEO
HTC (High Tech Computer) has regarded 2009 as crucial to the promotion of its 3G handsets in the China market, and the company expects its handset sales in China to double this year compared to a year earlier, according to company president and CEO Peter Chou.
China's issuance of the 3G licenses earlier this year opened a great deal of business opportunities for HTC due to its ability to produce mobile devices supporting TD-SCDMA, WCDMA and CDMA 2000 technologies, Chou highlighted.
Sales of HTC's TD-SCDMA handsets in China, which are being carried out by its subsidiary Dopod in cooperation with China Mobile Communications, have so far been satisfactory, said Chou, noting that China revenues accounted for 4-5% of HTC total revenues in 2008.
Dopod shipped 800,000 handsets in China in 2008, according to an estimate by market observers.
While committing to strengthening its cooperation with telecom service providers in China, Chou said that HTC currently has no plans to market own-brand handsets in China, and instead will continue to offer its mobile devices under the Dopod brand.
