(Reuters) - China Telecom Corp Ltd plans to offer its 106 million subscribers the Apple Inc iPhone by the end of 2011, sources said on Wednesday, which would make it the second operator to do so in the world's largest mobile phone market.

The move would help China Telecom, the smallest of the country's three telecommunications operators, cement more high-end 3G users in a competitive market in which handset subsidies offered by carriers are squeezing margins. China Telecom operates the country's largest fixed-line network and is a relative newcomer to the mobile market.

"The reason telecom operators are fighting for the iPhone business is because everybody is trying to grab as many 3G users as possible," said Jane Wang, an analyst at UK-based research firm Ovum. "The only way to keep costs down is to build up such a user base."

China Telecom's shares, which have risen by about a fifth this year, extended earlier gains after Reuters exclusively reported the plan, rising as much as 5.5 percent to an intraday high of HK$4.95 and outperforming the Hang Seng Index's 1 percent gain.

Separately on Wednesday, China Telecom said in a statement that its president and chief operating officer, Shang Bing, had resigned to become deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

China has 896 million mobile phone users -- bigger than the entire population of Europe. Its three telecommunications operators are China Mobile Ltd, China Unicom and China Telecom.

So far, China Unicom is the only operator to offer the iPhone after signing a three-year agreement with Apple in 2009. Its deal with Apple is not based on a revenue-sharing scheme, unlike some operators in other countries. For example, in the United States, Apple has a revenue-sharing agreement with AT&T Inc on iPhone sales.

"Unicom is selling iPhones, but there was no particular boost to their earnings from that," said Patrick Yiu, director at CASH Asset Management. "Even if China Telecom gets the iPhone deal, it will still depend on whether their system can support it and on the details of the contract."

In May, China Telecom's chairman, Wang Xiaochu, told a news conference that the carrier had contacted Apple to launch the iPhone based on CDMA (code division multiple access) technology.

"It's expected to happen this year. China Telecom already has the required technology and it all hinges on the content of the agreement. As we all know, it's not easy to negotiate with Apple," a source close to the company, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.

China Telecom is expected to introduce the iPhone in November, said another source, declining to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Officials with China Telecom declined to comment, while Apple officials were not immediately available for comment.

In June, a media report said bigger rival China Mobile could offer iPhones from September, although analysts said it was unlikely that Apple would support the carrier's TD-SCDMA (time division synchronous code division multiple access) technology.

A more likely scenario was for Apple to support China Mobile's 4G LTE (long-term evolution) technology, which would only be available either in late 2012 or 2013, they said.

If that is the case, China Telecom would be next in line to offer iPhones.

"Widening its user base by developing 3G is China Telecom's top priority," said Kevin Tian at Analysys International. "However, its costs might be higher than China Unicom's and if it brings in the iPhone, its sales and marketing expenditure will not be low."

上周去看了电信的烧号爱疯4，只能说还行，其实对我个人来说IP4已经够用了，电信没必要引进什么IP5，但由于目前电信烧号并非官方正式版本，存在着一些不足，电信也暂时没办法解决而且也不想花太多精力和金钱去解决，只好直接上5了

知道电信为什么砸钱搞光纤入户了吧，到时候入IPHONE套餐就给升级10M,20M。移动的日子以后越来越不好过是真的，虽然GSM也可以用水果，而且仍然握有最大的优势-号码资源，但客户大量分流已经不能避免了

国内三大运营商在3G时代的竞争越来越激烈，除了网络、资费、服务之外，终端之争更是进入白热化。据国外媒体报道，中国电信有望在今年年底之前引入苹果iPhone，成为继中国联通之后第二家销售iPhone的运营商。

路透社报道称，两位了解谈判情况的消息人士透露,中国电信计划在今年年底，最快11月份开始销售苹果iPhone(参数图片样张评测)，目前双方仍旧具体合作条款进行谈判。而据华尔街日报报道，中国电信相关人士表示，公司目前正在与苹果公司就在中国市场销售iPhone手机相关事宜进行磋商，但目前还没有具体时间表。

中国电信虽是中国三大移动运营商中规模最小的，但以用户数计已经是全球最大的CDMA网络运营商。苹果公司在今年年初推出了支持CDMA网络的iPhone 4，由Verizon在美国市场发售，不过这款产品有网络锁，目前无法使用Verizon以外的运营商服务。

另外，根据业界传闻，苹果将会在今年秋天推出第五代iPhone，目前尚不清楚中国电信将要引入的是新一代产品，还是目前热卖的iPhone 4。

现在电信似乎根本没有推IP4的想法
都是经销商要求的，电信只是配合经销商做活动而已
