This paper investigates China's efforts to develop its indigenous standard - TD-SCDMA and mainly focuses on the subsequent competition between TD-SCDMA & WiMax. By drawing upon actor-network theory (ANT), two counter-networks are setup and the competitions on technology, IPR, industry chain are presented. Furthermore, the social and institutional elements that effected their respective commercialization in China are also considered. Finally, the possible compromises of the two and respective suggestions on Telecom policies are proposed.

On the transformation of China's telecommunication operators, this paper builds a structure of the industry's ecosystem and value-net model, and further identifies key resources in this ecosystem, including standardization, core technology, customer base and brand names. The conclusion is that an operator's competitive advantage not only depends on its own strength, but also on its capability of collaboration. That is, whichever operator can best collaborate with others in the ecosystem, will also be able to best integrate resources, and thus establish a self-centered ecosystem and obtain a sustainable advantage.

The networks literature suggests a network's value increases in the number of locations it serves (the ldquonetwork effectrdquo) and the number of its users (the ldquoproduction scale effectrdquo). In this article we discuss one of the technology innovation in optical industry- photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology. We show that, in one hand, consumers (traditional carriers) would be very careful to adopt a new technology or product in presence of network effect, which results in new technology adoption delays increasing in the size of traditional networks. In the other hand, if benefit from this new technology is not certain, dominant suppliers (equipment vendors) prefer waiting and collecting information to make further decision, so in some time network effect reduce innovation incentives.

3G has already been put into business, but the killer application of M-commerce has not been found out. The root cause is because the value transfer system of M-commerce has not been thoroughly researched or analyzed. Through a series of empirical study, this paper points out that the value loop in E-commerce is right the key problem of killer application in mobile value-added service. Accordingly we established a related model and gave the critical factors and methods for creating the M-commerce value loop; they are referable for the development of M-commerce.
