A new domestic operator should take charge of launching the country's homegrown third-generation (3G) TD-SCDMA mobile phone technology, a telecommunications industry official said.

TD-SCDMA, or Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, is the standard being developed by China. The other two standards already used internationally are W-CDMA and CDMA2000.
