BEIJING, Oct. 9 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Analysys International, a leading Internet based provider of business information about technology, media and telecom (TMT) industries in China, says in its recently released report "China's MVAS -- CRBT Service Market Quarterly Tracker Q2 2006," that China Mobile's information fee of CRBT services before the revenue sharing settlement dropped the first time in history to RMB 154 million in Q2 2006 with a quarterly decrease of 9.5% over Q1 2006. According to Analysys International's report, China Mobile's information fee of CRBT services before revenue sharing settlement was RMB154 million, which showed a decrease of 9.5% over Q1 2006. This is the first time that the quarterly growth appeared negative for the CRBT services. Also, China Unicom's information fee of CRBT before revenue sharing settlement dropped 5% over Q1 2006 to reach RMB 55.63 million.

However, if we look from the viewpoint of service development, CRBT service had already entered a primary saturation period in Q1 2006. Although carriers had taken some measurements, the improvements in the convenience of service search and customization were still far from sufficient," says Jin Hui, analyst from Analysys International. "Since the carriers had generally succeeded in accomplishing their half-year plan, some of the provincial or city carriers reduced their effort in promotion of CRBT services. This also had some negative influence on the business growth. Affected by the cut-over of Guangdong Mobile's CRBE platform, the information fee of CRBT service before revenue sharing settlement in May 2006 had dropped more than 30% compared with those of April and June 2006. As Guangdong Mobile is one of the major business revenue resources for China Mobile, this directly led to the reduction of the information fee in the second quarter 2006. Meanwhile, the seasonal feature of CRBT service itself also contributed to the decrease. Since traditional festivals such as the New Year and the Spring Festival are all in the first quarter of the year, it is natural that we see a decrease after these holidays pass." In Q2 2006, carriers had put more strength in direct cooperation with record companies and SPs' business room was further squeezed. Some major SPs had set up the first mobile record release alliance in China in hope of promoting the position in the industry chain.
