to satisfy operators¡¯ demands in the follow-up trails. Director-general
Zhang pointed out TD had always been ¡°open¡± to all interested

expressed their views and opinions. Later, MII leaders encouraged
participants to raise questions about TD-SCDMA industry and
network constructions, and answers were given by the officials
