After China Telecom took over the CDMA network from China Unicom, Wei Leping, chief engineer of China Telecom, hoped the telecom carrier can get access to 800MHz frequency.

Some reports say that China Telecom has applied to the Ministry of Industry and Information for usage of 800MHz CDMA network frequency.

Most CDMA cell phones has merely single mode of 800MHz, if China Telecom cannot get access to 800MHz, the single-mode CDMA cell phones will not be available for use.

An analyst close to China Telecom says that China Telecom will be sure to get 800MHz frequency because related authorities will not let that situation happen.

As per international roaming, CMDA networks of foreign telecom carriers are running at 800MHz frequency, so it will be fair and reasonable for China Telecom to use it too. China Unicom will officially deliver the CDMA network to China Telecom from September 30.
