China Mobile says iPhone talks have scaled the biggest hurdle, but there’s still no timetable for when China Mobile would bring the iPhone to mainland China, reports Reuters.
“Apple is no longer insisting on a revenue-sharing policy, so the biggest hurdle for China Mobile to bring in the iPhone has been cleared, but there are practical issues still to be resolved,” China Mobile spokeswoman Rainie Lei says.
Apple has decided to stop requiring that wireless network companies pay it part of the subscription fees they get from iPhone users, notes Reuters. Instead, they will subsidize the devices up front to make them cheaper.
