No it'll not. As you can see major Japanese telcos are now supplied by China sophisticated modern equipments that none of the European counterparts can supply and compete in terms of pricing. Patent ownership is also the strong point here. China and Japan co developed this technology to avoid paying the patent fee to European ITU. If they maintain control over their own home based patent, then people who wants to adopt their technology will have to pay them the licensing fees.
At this rate, TD-LTE (AXGP) is winning the Advance-LTE war. We have Japan as its first adopter with strong following by China, India, Thailand, Russia, Taiwan, Middle East.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networksIn Malaysia, P1 Networks is leading the TD-LTE scene in their next 4G upgrade.With the gloomy economy European markets are experiencing, more of them are expected to buy Chinese equipment as well due to their fierce competitive pricing and improving quality.
Such enticing opportunity do you think the Chinese will ignore and let tensions get in the way?
The current tension in China is just politically incited and motivated. The violent protest I believe is being staged by the falling Communist Government and there have been cases where locals themselves have been beaten up until near death accused of siding the Japanese.
The normal Chinese citizen would not care about the islands because the oil rights has nothing to do with them.Same goes with the Japanese regular citizens.
Unless the oil resources is worth more than China's deeply invested telecoms market, my guess is that they'll brush the tensions aside when it comes to signing telecom equipment supplying contracts.
the latest development is that China announced it may stop FTA talks with Japan. [FTA among China, Korea, Japan]. economic analyst commented it will affect supply chain throughout the east asia.
the general citizen is not protesting about oil or for economic reason, it is the historical matter between the two nations. sth far more important beyond money consideration.
huawei/zte wont' die if stop supplying equipment to japan, they already have strong global market. (huawei/zte always perceived having strong tide with cn gov). now is looking at how this incident be ending up, maybe will be alleviated after passing japan general election.

i think our current All ISP better fixing and tackle their 3G issue first instead of all rushing to grab who is the first launch 4G

bro, first runner = new biz, new biz = new money, new money = profits, profits = dividens/ share price up, dividens/ share price up = top management position steady, top management position steady = high monthly income + great year end bonus ....

(especially for telcos that not doing particular well in 3G market now)
first runner get fresh customers to sign up contract, bind them in 1 year, then 2nd runner big lose already...
(just up to this point, local telcos havn't come up with 'switch-over' plan that will offer great offers/discounts if u jump over from other telco, which has been seen in other country. don't know if they are prohibited to run such competition, so they have 'common' understanding not running this level competition now and future.)
local end users expectation? they provide a link for us to complain at mcmc enough...
