China plans to connect 30 million more homes with FTTH by the end of the year as part of the Broadband China program.
Minister of industry and information technology Miao Wei has announced a goal of having 200 million users connected under the FTTH program by the end of 2014, state-owned news agency Xinhuareported.
Other goals for the Broadband China Program this year include bringing broadband to 13,800 more villages and reaching 30% penetration for fixed broadband connections over 8Mbps.
On the mobile side, China expects the nation's mobile operators to sign up 30 million new TD-LTE users and deploy 300,000 new base stations in 2014.
