Key Highlights

Growing PC penetration will increase demand for broadband
Increased adoption of personal computers resulting in enhanced demand for broadband is expected to drive internet accounts growth, which will offset the decline in voice telephony subscriber lines. Internet accounts increased at 13.0% CAGR during 2012-2016 from 189.2 million in 2012 to 308.2 million in 2016, with expectations to grow at 9.6% CAGR over 2016-2021 to reach 486.5 million by 2021.

China Mobile’s revenue increased at 5.5% CAGR during 2012-2016, from US$84,790 million in 2012 to US$105,129 million in 2016. Similar to its leading position in mobile subscriptions, the company also led the market for mobile services revenue over the last four years, followed by China Unicom.

Low competitiveness leading to high churn
