telecom - China Satcom emerges from the dark

Over the past few year, I heard so little from China Satcom, I almost had forgotten they existed. They were one of the four telecom companies coming out of the first split of the old China Telecom in the second half in the 1990s, when then-premier Zhu Rongji axed the company along functionalities.
China Mobile and China Telecom (for fixed lines) have been the more fertile branches of the old company, while the paging company almost disappeared, together with paging. China Satcom was silent, until now, as they are expanding their broadband offerings, China Tech News writes.
I have not heard anything from the consumers, but now they move into Beijing and Shanghai, they seem to target serious business. They are developing even a TV-station together with a Thai player.
