Summary of key points found in China’s draft telecommunications regulations, widely circulated in recent weeks.

China Telecommunications Regulations 2000

This is NOT an official document but a precis of the circulated draft.

Note also that Class One licences are to be restricted to state-controlled enterprises, although this does not rule out minority equity stakes.
