After the commercialization of 4G companies in 2014, China Cellular’s (NYSE: CHL) 4G buyer base swelled from 91 million in 2014 to 713 million in 2018. 4G adoption was bolstered by the federal government’s Pace Improve & Tariff Discount coverage, which led to an almost 40% (y-o-y) decline in knowledge tariffs since 2015. Although China Mobile’s revenues continued to broaden regardless of tariff discount directives, the pattern reversed throughout the first half of 2019.
