Analysys International Says China Unicom's BREW Services Market Size Continued to Drop to RMB 47.46 Million in Q2 2006

    BEIJING, Oct. 10 /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 -- BREW Service Market Quarterly
Tracker Q2 2006," that China Unicom's BREW service
market size kept on decreasing to reach RMB 47.46 million
in Q2 2006 with a drop down of 3% over Q1 2006.  

    According to Analysys International's research, China
Unicom's BREW services continued to be sluggish, and the
market size of the BREW services dropped 3% to RMB 47.46
million.  The main reason to cause this situation was that
China Unicom failed to expand its systems in time and
resulted in the fact that there was no new product to go
live this quarter.

    In this quarter, Great Wall Software (Sichuan) retained
the first of BREW services, followed by CTTnet and Tencent.


    "Similar to China Unicom's other 2.5G services,
there are no changes and highlights in the SP list, revenue
and ranking.  All those problems, which constricted the
development of the advanced services bearing China Unicom's
great expectation, still haven't been solved.  And SPs felt
depressed," says Jin Hui, analyst from Analysys
International, "The development of the CDMA1X and
terminals in the first half of 2006 was not desirable, and
this made the BREW business even worse.  We think China
Unicom's 2.5G services including BREW services cannot walk
out the mire of continuous stagnancy until China Unicom
works out practical and effective measurements."

International's research report "China's MVAS -- BREW
