In a recent interview, Gordon Gao explained that "With all the expectations of growth in wireless broadband, it is still virtually unused in China. Even where there are multiple users, such as public access in shopping centers, internet cafes, etc., the major carriers continue to struggle to efficiently install broadband. We have found a quick and low cost way to allow anyone to enjoy wireless and wired broadband and we make money on the broadband access and maintenance contract fees. The flexibility of the system's bandwidth control and billing integration capabilities make it just as useful for a hotel as it is useful for managing networks in a large office building. Wireless broadband revenues are no longer reserved for the large telecoms." About CBCom Inc.
