China's telecoms regulator has said the policy framework for third generation mobile operations will be completed in 2007.

The Information Industry minister Wang Xudong said the government will introduce policies covering 3G access, tariffs, supervision and bandwidth. Wang did not give a specific timetable for the issue of 3G licenses. China is expected to push its home-grown 3G standard, TD-SCDMA, when issuing 3G licenses.

TD-SCDMA, developed by China's Datang Mobile Communications Equipment and Siemens, is competing with the foreign developed WCDMA and CDMA 2000 standards.

Fixed asset investment in the communications sector is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan in 2007.
