China Unicom may postpone development of mobile IM business

The new China Unicom formed after industry restructuring may postpone the development of its mobile instant messaging (IM) business as the technologies of IM products from China Unicom and CNC are not compatible.

Mobile IM business will be one of the value-added businesses in 3G era. But its development is very difficult, and the terminal equipment seldom supports this technique. It's hard to benefit from this business in short time, a source from CNC expressed.

In addition, factors like China Unicom's strategy, the development potential and the profit cycle of IM business will delay the development of the IM program.
