The contract brings UTStarcom's total IP-DSLAM deployments with CNC to more than 400,000 ADSL lines within multiple provinces in China since March of 2003.

"We believe the unique advantage of UTStarcom's IP-based solution will enable CNC to offer its customers such advanced features as the "Triple Play" of voice, data and video over broadband, enabling multiple choices for their customers and new revenue streams for them."
