David,
I don't know where have you been. LTON, HRAY, KONG (and quite a lot of VAS providers) have been getting killed lately precisely because China Mobile/China Unicom (and the government) have been reigning in control, rather than allowing these VAS providers to freely compete with the carriers.
While what Menan said might be true, ideally. However, that is not happening in China. What have transpired in China since last year in the mobile market is actually a step backward.
