4 Top Three Innovation that Failed in Shanghai

Hi jianshuo,

I don't agree with your first viewpoint. Numbering of Highway with A + Numbers is one popular way in the world, especially in Europe. But government can offer more free transport maps for the driver coming to shanghai in first time.

3 Edward's New Satellite TV

"He can receive 100 channels from 2 satellites now"
Is it true that receiving TV signals from 2 satellites? I only see one LNB. Maybe he has another antenna.

But 880RMB is one very reasonable price. One problem is DIRECTV operators often change coding/decodeing system, and you have to update it by hand.

2 Difference Between Quanqiutong and Shenzhouxing

Hi Joachim,

Yeah, you are right. In china, there are only two cell phone operators: China Mobile and China Unicom. China Mobile just maintains GSM/GPRS network. But China Unicom managers two kinds of mobile network: GSM and CDMA. CDMA technic is very difference with GSM.

Comparing the fee, for one minute local call, the charge of "Ru yi tong" is 0.01~0.02 Euro(0.1~0.2RMB) lower than "Shen zhou Xing".

Now china Unicom put most effort on CDMA network, and almost stop invest in GSM. China mobile is largest operator, its quality of sevice and nework covering is more better than China Unicom, especially in the country. In city,they can offer the same service. China Mobile has 96% GSM covering in mainland.

If you only stay in Shanghai and Beijing, no main impact either you using the "Ru yi tong" or "Shen Zhou xing". Aslo you can be one subscriber of China Unicom CDMA nework. The CDMA's Data service is more better than GSM/GPRS.

If you want to voyage whole china(e.g to some famous countrysides), you'd better subscribe to China Mobile and use "Shen zhou Xing" or "Quan qiu tong".

1 Posting my Mobile Number

i don't understand why domestic cell phone can't appear the international call number.
It is so uncomfortable for people often going aboard.I had lost many calls when i stayed in Franch.

From the technice point of view, it seems not very complex. Just need China Mobile to invest little money.
