China Mobile Talking with Apple About iPhone
Monday, November 12th, 2007 at 3:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The CEO of China Mobile is discussing the iPhone with Apple, according to Computerworld on Tuesday. However, the CEO of China Mobile doesnt like the Apple revenue model agreed to by other carriers.
"Our customers like this kind of fashionable product," said Wang Jianzhou, China Mobiles CEO. He made the remarks at a recent GSM Association meeting. "We still think we can maintain the operator-centric model because we have the customers, the end users," Wang said.
Apple has been vague about plans for the iPhone beyond the European rollout, saying only that the iPhone would be launched in Asia in 2008.
China Mobile is also a member of Googles new Open Handset Alliance, and that could be a factor in the negotiations.
Mr. Wang was also skeptical of phones that play music, but if they do, they should download the music directly from the network, not via a PC.
China Mobile has 60 million subscribers, and Mr. Wangs skepticism over Apples revenue model combined with the Chinese traditional way of doing business and competition from others could make for complicated negotiations for Apple. Even so, its a market Apple will want to be in.
