Phone industry laws expected ( 2003-09-27 15:32) (eastday.com)
China's first set of laws for the phone industry will be introduced in 2005
at the earliest, Xinhua news agency reported on its Website, citing an
unidentified member of the drafting committee.
Minister of Information Industry Wang Xudong, appointed in July to head a
special Cabinet office that oversees telecom policies, was expected to introduce
the laws earlier, Xinhua said. The laws, being drafted since 2001, will promote
competition among phone companies, connect different networks with each other
and regulate tariffs.
