[ET Net News Agency, 21 December 2017] Jefferies Research said, based on November
statistics, China Unicom's (00762) 4G net add at 5m was stable MoM, versus a 10% fall at
China Telecom (00728) and 24% fall at China Mobile (00941).
Unicom's market share of 4G net add recovered from 30% in October to 34% in November.
Since January 2016, Unicom's share of 4G net add has been steadily rising from 16% to over
30%.

online marketing and attractive pricing would allow its revenue share gain to continue.
