The increasing visit volume of free WAP websites has attracted China Mobile's attention. President Wang's words showed that China Mobile will still adopt the semi-closed operating model for Monternet.

However, other systems are being developed. There have been attempts to acquire multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicle (MIRV) technology through the acquisition of Russian SS-18 missile components.
