China has been able to build a substantial national telecommunications infrastructure, with fibre optic cables criss-crossing the nation, though there is still much need for expansion and improvement. It is forecast that China will install more access lines than any other country over the years leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. China is building what will be the largest NGN in the world, the IPv6-based ChinaNet Next Carrying Network (CN2). This report looks at China’s national and international telecom infrastructure, including FttH and NGN developments.
