Yes, if we may believe Wei Leiping, China Telecom's technical chief, talking to XFN. Unfortunately, there is enough reason for some panic at the offices of one of China's largest state-owned telecom providers.
China Telecom is confined to the fixed lines, and has been overtaken by mobile connections already some years ago. Of course, it does not mean that fixed lines are going to disappear, but growth will be impossible. Whether China Telecom will get a 3G license, alone or with another telecom provider is very unclear.
Unfortunately, the permission for IPTV is not really enough to get it rolling. Current "broadband" connections in China are of such a poor quality that IPTV is technically impossible. Now, that seems a problem if you want to go for IPTV.
