中国电信有望发售苹果iPhone（双语）

　　在美国，有关苹果（Apple）的传闻不会因为热销的iPhone手机下一步走向的消息得以公布而停息。

　　提康德罗加证券（Ticonderoga Securities）的分析师怀特（Brian White）在周一写道“此前我们曾表示相信在和Verizon的合作协议敲定之后不久中国电信（China Telecom）就会成为经营iPhone的运营商。中国电信的CDMA网络有8800万用户，其规模几乎和Verizon一样大。”

　　据《华尔街日报》记者弗莱彻（Owen Fletcher）去年9月的报道，中国联通（China Unicom）（香港）有限公司是目前中国内地唯一销售iPhone的电信运营商。iPhone 4在去年美国首发三个月之后登陆中国市场，好几个国家是从去年6月下旬开始发售的。相比之下，此前iPhone 3GS的美国首发和中国的行货销售时间有28个月的时差。

　　据设在北京的网络咨询公司易观国际（Analysys International）透露，去年三季度苹果手机的市场占有率为5.9%，是中国第五大智能手机供应商。但iPhone 4很可能提升苹果公司四季度的销售额。 而诺基亚（Nokia）在三季度则以23.5%的市场占有率排名第一。

　　据去年6月《华尔街日报》记者Loretta Chao的报道，在由于监管原因而导致长时间的拖延后，中国的三大国有电信运营商中国移动（China Mobile）、中国联通和中国电信的3G用户数量开始增加。据官方数据统计，截至2010年4月，中国共有7.865亿手机用户，数量为全球之最。

　　The Apple rumor mill will not be silenced by the mere appearance of an actual announcement on the next step for the hot-selling Apple iPhone in the states.

　　Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White writes Monday “in the past, we have indicated that we believe China Telecom is likely to carry the iPhone shortly after a deal is struck with Verizon. With 88 million wireless subscribers on its CDMA network, China Telecom is nearly the size of Verizon.”

　　China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. is currently only network operator in China to offer the iPhone, The Wall Street Journal’s Owen Fletcher reported back in September. The iPhone 4 went on sale in China about three months after its introduction in the U.S. and several other countries in late June. That compares with a lag of 28 months between the original iPhone’s U.S. introduction and the first authorized iPhone sales in China.

　　Apple was China’s fifth-largest smartphone vendor in the third quarter with a 5.9% share of unit sales, but the iPhone 4 is likely to boost its fourth-quarter sales, said Beijing research firm Analysys International. Nokia Corp. had the largest share of China’s smartphone market in the third quarter at 23.5%, according to Analysys, The Journal reports.

　　As The Journal’s Loretta Chao reported back in June, China’s three state-owned mobile operators, China Mobile Ltd., China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. and China Telecom Corp., are beginning to gain 3G subscribers after a long regulatory delay. According to government statistics, China as of April 2010 had 786.5 million mobile subscribers, the most in the world.
