Editorial Summary
China's wireless value added service industry has lost nearly half of its workforce in the past two years, reports China Business Post. At its height, the industry had 600,000 employees and 22000 service providers. China's wireless value added service industry has been hit hard in the past two years from new regulations and policies initiated by China's Ministry of Information Industry and later continued by China Mobile. Less than 5000 service providers will have survived by end of June 2008, predicted China Business Post's report.
Seven year wireless service industry veteran Mr. Gao has given up on wireless services. Gao opened a restaurant in Beijing this month after leaving the industry. The restaurant is directly across from Beijing Mobile's office. A discount is available for wireless industry workers.
