Shangbing, Chairman of China Mobile, said at MWC 2016 in Barcelona on February 22th that China Mobile has achieved comprehensive development with the vision of "Mobile changing life". Its development includes three aspects.

First, China Mobile has sped up its 4G development. China Mobile has constructed world's largest 4G network with 1.1 million 4G base stations, covering over 1.2 billion people, and China Mobile offers 4G roaming services in 114 countries and areas. China Mobile has added more than 340 million 4G subscribers with the user penetration exceeding 40% in just two years. Only in 2015, China Mobile has added 220 million subscribers, equaling to adding over 400 4G subscribers per minute on average.

Second, China Mobile's transformation development has achieved results. In the face of the stress of accelerating decline in voice and SMS services, China Mobile has accelerated the transformation into traffic and digital services. China Mobile has raised its traffic business penetration to 80% with the traffic data growing 150% in 2015 by business model innovation and providing characteristic applications. Traffic data service is the main driving factor for the revenue growth. Meanwhile, China Mobile has established a specialized operating system for mobile Internet, IoT, enterprise informatization and other fields. Its digital services develop rapidly - its TMT partners have reached 6,000 with over a million relevant employees; the application store, Mobile Market has more than 100 thousand App developers; IoT connections has exceeded 60 million and the capability open platform--ONENET of China Mobile has got over 800 partners.

Third, China Mobile's communication services become increasingly popular. China Mobile continues to expand the coverage of its network and aggressively pushes the "improving the speed and cutting down the tariff" strategy . The total of its base stations has reached 2.66 million while its market channels cover urban and rural areas, serving over 800 million subscribers in China. China Mobile expands the user base of mobile Internet subscribers by reducing the price of mobile traffic, enabling more people to carry out entrepreneurial or innovative activities.

Meanwhile, China Mobile pays great attention to narrowing the digital gap and it continues to improve the mobile communication services and broadband internet access services in remote areas. The cumulative investment in China Mobile's "Every Village" project has been nearly CNY 45 billion by the end of 2015 with the mobile coverage in rural areas reaching 99.5% and the rural areas accounting for over 70% where China Mobile's mobile broadband is available.
