	Xiaolingtong: Air today, gone tomorrow?
		Xiaolingtong, the popular alternative to mobile phones, is seemingly facing a gloomy future under the government's negative attitude towards it.
		The technology of Xiaolingtong, originally named personal hand phone system (PHS), was introduced to China in the late 1990s from Japan, and soon got a warm market welcome due to the convenience of its usage and low costs.
		Xiaolingtong has attracted more than 3.4 million users, of which more than 2 million are customers of UTStarcom, according to the company.

		Xiaolingtong has more than 100 employees, 90% of whom have university degree or degree above, with the average age of less than 30 years old, and 60% of whom are RandD technicians.
		Xiaolingtong always takes technology as its core competition ability and it has accumulated a group of technicians from the famous universities and research institutes in China.
		Xiaolingtong, credit-oriented, taking win-win as its target and based on the actual demand of the customer, offers complete solutions and thus keeps its leading position in the field of audio multi-point communication.

		Xiaolingtong is built into a city's fixed-line phone network through PHS (personal handy-phone system), which enables roaming only within the city.
		As Xiaolingtong has limited roaming and generally cannot be upgraded to next-generation wireless telecommunications, it is considered a backward technology.
		Xiaolingtong's rip-roaring growth, since it was first introduced in China, has caused conflicts within the industry, and resulted in aggressive phone rate cuts.

		The rate is slower than the 18.35 million new xiaolingtong subscribers added in the first half of last year, but far outpaces growth for the mobile carriers.
		The term xiaolingtong eloquently describes the nature of the service: it is a small-scale (xiao) but agile and smart (ling) communications (tong) service.
		A converged solution would give xiaolingtong users the best of both worlds: they could gain access to premium data services without sacrificing the low voice rates offered by xiaolingtong or having to give up their telephone numbers.

		Authorities haven't shown their attitude for this, and it seems that the future of Xiaolingtong is becoming brighter and brighter.
		In the past, Beijing, shanghai and Guangzhou are the forbidden zones for Xiaolingtong.
		This regulation won't influence the development of Xiaolingtong very much, but the symbolic meaning is obvious - only the three cities don't permit Xiaolingtong entering, the latter will be informal forever.

	Dual-mode service's prospects blurred
		The prospects of cross-over phones running on GSM and the cost-effective Xiaolingtong service might be better, Lu said.
		Xiaolingtong, or personal handy service (PHS), is a limited mobility service promoted by fixed-line carriers China Telecom and China Netcom.
		There are no roaming fees with Xiaolingtong, the coverage of which is confined to city limits, but it costs much less than the standard cellular services.

		This innovation helped turn Xiaolingtong into a huge success, because it was a low cost option for fixed-line operators, as well as an affordable alternative to regular mobile services.
		"Xiaolingtong is historically important in that it is the first technology in the history of China's telecoms industry that was not planned by the government," says Wu Ying, co-founder of UTStarcom.
		Industry players are working on solutions to improve Xiaolingtong's network coverage, as well as "seamless switch technology," which could improve the stability of service on the go.

		Xiaolingtong, or known as PHS (personal handy system) in the industry, was built on the fixed-line networks, but it can offer limited mobility services.
		The Xiaolingtong service has largely eroded China Mobile and Unicom's voice revenues, and forced the two to cut prices.
		As a result, the mobile duopoly will be reluctant to let fixed-line carriers take away some of their data revenues generated from SMS, analysts said.

		But analysts said China Telecom's strong user growth in the first half was not matched by a corresponding increase in sales from both ordinary fixed-line services and from Xiaolingtong, with total sales growing 7.2 per cent year-on-year to Rmb39.5bn ($4.8bn).
		Analysts said Xiaolingtong had been effective in stemming some of China Telecom's loss of market share to mobile operators in the fixed-line and domestic long-distance call segments.

		Most Xiaolingtong phones offer no frills: Users can make local calls and send simple text messages, but they can't "roam" from one city to another.
		The phones, as small and sleek as regular cellphones, are powered by rooftop-mounted base stations, which are specially equipped antennas that send signals a little more than a mile.

		China Telecom claims to have already signed up over ten million subscribers to its non-licensed Xiaolingtong (smart little connector) service, where users can sidestep paying a charge to their network operator for receiving incoming calls; the plug-in device piggybacks on the incumbent’s local loop to offer a cheap service in urban areas.
		The popularity of Xiaolingtong has seen China Telecom sign equipment and handset contracts worth USD500 million in January alone with local supplier UT Starcom; it has also announced plans to extend the service to the cities of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan.
