Telestone Technologies Corporation Positioned to Benefit from New Network Integration Directive
BEIJING, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Telestone Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: TSTC) ("Telestone" or the "Company") a leading developer of local access network solutions, products, and engineering services, today formalized a response and outlook regarding the new directives from Beijing on the development of China's telecommunications, TV & radio broadcasting, and internet networks.
As reported by Xinhua News Agency on January 13, 2010, "In a State Council meeting, a government directive and 5-year plan was issued to accelerate the integration of telecommunications, TV & radio broadcasting and internet access networks. The meeting further stated that the integration of the three systems will provide China with a better platform for information sharing and stimulate the economy. The meeting confirmed that they will support local companies to meet the directive's integration goals. The directive is in five key objectives:
1. The integration should be tested first at locations or urban regions
with sufficient technical and financial resources before expanding the
program nationwide.
2. The construction and development of networks should include upgrades in
equipment and facilities, and more coverage in rural areas.
3. The government will greatly encourage and facilitate the industry's
development and provide oversight to the marketplace.
4. The government is willing to release policies that will better assist
companies and organizations in the integration process."

"We anticipated this directive for our industry and feel confident we have developed the technology and business strategies to meet the directive's goals," began Han Daqing, Chairman and CEO of Telestone Technologies. "The integration of delivery networks for telecommunications, media and Internet will avail significant opportunities for the entire industry and we witnessed several industry stocks listed on the Chinese stock exchanges appreciate so quickly, at one point they were halted on the day news of the directive was published. The introduction of our Wireless Fiber Optic Distribution System (WFDS(TM)) addresses this exact challenge for our industry. Simply stated, the challenge is to consolidate services across a network that can provide the bandwidth and speed to deliver all three of China's cellular protocols, broadcast TV, media, internet and voice. We are closely monitoring the new initiatives and further statements made by Beijing in support of these directives. The last time Beijing made statements like this, the 3G industry accelerated very quickly after which time Beijing first identified the need for 3G coverage in China. China then availed more than $70 billion in funds to upgrade China's 1G and 2G infrastructure to 3G. We anticipate a similar path with these new directives, and are confident our technologies and track record of more than 43 successful WFDS(TM) installations will position us at the forefront of this development," Han concluded.
