Almost no room was left for later comers in China's integrated online search sector. Facing a fast-growing search engine market, new entrants could have the opportunities for survival and development only through looking for novel ways.

CCID Consulting analyst: local search may well be a breakthrough point for later comers into the search engine field. Although facing problems of map information and local data collection and
how to make target customers accept their services, integrated search giants and new entrants stand almost at the same starting line in this field….　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Centering around vendors, agents and end resellers, China's mobile phone end channel pattern
has underwent great changes in the past 2 years. Particularly with the in-depth involvement of non-professional mobile phone channel distributors and operators, many new uncertainties have
been added to increasingly complicated channels in the market. In the next few years, vendors
will improve their channel models through changes. Under the broad framework of distribution
by agents, they will step up cooperation with large chain markets, home appliance market and operators. Direct supply, exclusive purchase and customization will become the main cooperation models for mainstream vendors in the next few years. In addition, agent distributors will also become more professional and end-based and carry out large-scale operations..　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Without any advance signs, Oracle introduced Unbreakable Linux2.0 which struck a fatal blow to Redhat, while Redhat was unaware of this at all….

What is the real intention behind Oracle's move?

CCID Consulting analyst: competing for users may not be Oracle's ultimate goal. It is likely
that the move is only one chess piece in the company's strategy to “build itself into a standard-based all-round application product supplier and a comprehensive and open information company”. Consequently, Oracle may adopt a "detour strategy" to firstly bring Redhat to a corner and then acquire it, thus fulfilling its ultimate strategic goal.

Globally, the diversified and huge cultural & creative industry is experiencing a booming development. Accounting for 7% of the global GDP, the industry creates a value of $22 billion
each day and this is growing at a speed of over 10%.

CCID Consulting analyst: domestic creative enterprises need to specify key areas of work and formulate guiding principles and differentiated development strategies based on their market demand and local characteristics: 1. differentiate "the cultural industry" from "the cultural undertaking"; 2. build a competitive creative industry chain; and 3. make efforts to nurture a number of well-known cultural business conglomerates with strong abilities of innovations and their own intellectual property rights.

As for telecom operators' future trend in the netbar communications market, the pattern of co-existence between China Telecom and China Netcom will continue and become strengthened as China Unicom and China Railcom withdraw from the netbar communications market. Other telecom operators are unlikely to replace their Internet content and access advantages. Although China Mobile has got part of the netbar communications market through a low price strategy, it cannot solve the problem of insufficient applications in the short term. Inter-network fee settlement with fixed network operators will become a more serious problem, thus affecting China Mobile"s development
in the netbar communications market..
