BEIJING, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- 3G.cn, the largest mobile internet
portal in China, boasting a total of 100 million mobile users, today commented
that it expects its fast-paced development to continue, thanks mainly to the
enormous popularity of 3G products in China that sees Generation Y as the
driving force of that popularity.

The promotion and popularization of 3G in China has accelerated the
development of the wireless Internet, particularly with young people who are
enthusiastic for experiencing new things, making mobile phones an
indispensable communication tool in their daily lives.

Teenagers throughout China, like Wang Teng, have become reliant on mobile
devices to communicate and to catch-up on the latest news and gossip. Wang
Teng says that many of his schoolmates are playing in the mobile community on
3G.cn and making friends at anytime, anywhere. He said, "The community and
Bla on 3G.cn are so interesting that lots of classmates are used to logging on
and saying goodnight to each other before going to bed."

A recent report on the Chinese market indicated that as of June 2009, the
mobile internet had amassed 155 million users, an increase of 32.1% over the
previous six months. With the number mostly centered on the 10-29 age group,
amongst the overall number of netizens, net surfing via mobile devices
attracts the younger generation more, especially teenagers. While mobile IM
is the major reason for connecting to the mobile internet, the percentages of
mobile searching and online music listening/downloading take up 26.2% and
25.8% respectively, forming the tier II of mobile applications. Mobile TV,
mobile communities and mobile reading have also now become popular
applications among youth today.

The great market potentials as well as the successes of local 3G mobile
sites in China have attracted a great numbers of tycoons in the industrial
chain, such as Microsoft, Nokia, China Mobile and China Telecom. They have
all established deep partnerships with 3G.cn, jointly pushing the development
of mobile internet in China, uplifting the service values to Chinese users in
this 3G era.

As a result, people like Wang Teng recently found that certain popular
mainstream channels of 3G.cn such as the news, entertainment and community
channels were embedded into the most updated mobile MSN version, allowing Wang
Teng to instantly share this news with classmates in the 3G.cn community and
Bla via MSN.

Yuqiang Deng, CEO of 3G.cn, noted, "The usage habits of Chinese consumers
is different from those of Japanese, Korean, European and American users, with
the popularization of mobile terminals in China the widest in the world, the
needs for entertainment are the strongest, and users are more dependent on
mobiles to meet their connectivity needs.

"We adhere that the essence of internet is that it be free of charge and
open. 3G.cn is now completely different from what it was like in 2004,
increasing from four channels to over 70 major channels and around one
thousand sub-channels, and from the simple delivery of news to mainstream
media involvement and event coverage, reporting to 100 million mobile users,"
concluded Yuqiang Deng.

As such, Yuqiang remains fully confident in the future of the 3G market in
China, and of the future business of 3G.cn.
