China Mobile Ltd, the countrys largest mobile operator, has signed a long-awaited deal with Apple Inc to offer iPhones on its network, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter. The news comes a day after Chinas Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued 4G licenses to China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom in another widely expected move. The rollout of iPhones by the worlds largest mobile carrier by users, with more than 700 million subscribers, is expected to start around the time of a December 18 China Mobile conference in the southern city of Guangzhou, according to two people familiar with the carriers plans, the newspaper reported. Officials with Apple and China Mobile declined to comment.
