According to MITT, in the first quarter, both program controlled switch and mobile communication base station have a decreased production compared the same period of last year. Program controlled switch is down 30.1%, mobile base station is down 41.3%. The total revenue for the telecom equipment industry only increased 10.7% compared to last year. The average growth rate of China's electronic industry is 33% at the same period. Also compared to the average growth rate of 31% on exporting, telecom equipment industry only recorded a 2.4% increase. For the reason of such slower growth, MITT owes it to two factors. The first is China's service providers decrease their investment on 3G roll-out this year. The second is India's anti-dumping policy towards Chinese equipment manufacturers. From the first quarter financial report of ZTE, we can easily understand this recession. In the first quarter, ZTE's revenue from service providers only increased by 0.9%, most of the increase comes from wireline equipments, not wireless equipments, the usual source of revenue for ZTE. Before MITT's report, many telecom analysts have already pointed out their worry on the recession of China's telecom equipment industry this year. The most recent Infonetics' Optical Network Hardware in Asia Pacific report showed slowdown in the Asia Pacific optical network hardware market looms because Chinese carriers are reporting that their 2010 spending will be constrained.
