China's decades-low natural gas demand growth begs reduction and liberalisation of prices
2015-08-23 19:55:38| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
Weak growth in demand for natural gas amid cheaper alternative fuels spurs cries on the mainland for price reduction and deregulation Beijing's tight grip on natural gas prices amid sharp falls in alternative fuel costs has made natural gas so uncompetitive that demand growth has fallen to its weakest in two decades, holding back the cleaner-burning fuel in helping the nation achieve its air pollution reduction goals. Unexpectedly tepid demand as a result of the "mispricing" of natural gas has also dashed producers and gas distributors' hope of reaching their production and sales targets set earlier this year, analysts say.

China Unicom H1 profits up on lower costs, broadband growth
2015-08-21 10:35:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) China Unicom reported revenues for the first half of 2015 down 3.3 percent from a year earlier to CNY 144.69 billion. Services revenue fell 5.3 percent, with mobile revenues down 9.7 percent to CNY 73.46 billion and fixed revenues up 2.2 percent to CNY 46.19 billion. Unicom blamed the drop on the changes to VAT in China and changes to its sales and marketing model. The latter resulted in reduced handset subsidies and operating costs, helping EBITDA for the period increase 5.8 percent to CNY 50.46 billion. Net profit was up 4.5 percent to CNY 6.99 billion. The operator highlighted the focus on broadband services, with 3G and 4G now accounting for 71.8 percent of mobile service revenue, up from 66.9 percent a year ago. The number of mobile broadband subscribers increased by 8.68 million in the six months to 157.79 million at the end of June, equal to 54.5 percent of total mobile subscribers, up by 6.8 percentage points over the same period last year. Data usage by handset subscribers grew by 47.4 percent year-on-year, and the average monthly data traffic for mobile broadband customers was up 34.1 percent.
