The forth one is China Netcom, who operates fixed line in northern China (China Telecom was broken up into China Telecom and China Netcom a few years ago, one owns the fixed line assets in the north, the other owns network in the south). China Unicom will sell its GSM network to China Netcom, and CDMA network to China Telecom. Therefore, it should be China Telecom (EVDO), China Mobile (TD-SCDMA) and China Netcom (WCDMA).

Just lovely. I'm in Shanghai and have only barely heard of China Netcom (they have little more than a token presence here). So that means that only northern China gets WCDMA? That sucks- massively.

But wait- what happens to China Unicom? They're getting a 3G license too, but according to you, no network to use it with. Or are they still keeping their network in those places outside Telecom/Netcom's markets (Shanghai and south of that for Netcom, vice-versa for Telecom)?
