Beijing: China Mobile
Ltd, the world's biggest mobile operator by users, plans to offer
a cloud storage service to Chinese users by the end of the year,
the China Daily reported Wednesday.
The Mcloud service, which is similar to Apple Inc's iCloud
service, is now being tested, the company said.
The Chinese carrier plans to provide users with up to 16 gigabytes
of storage space for free, while Apple offers 5 gigabytes.
Shen Hongqun, deputy general manager of the data business
department at China Mobile, described Mcloud as a "digital
information bank" for mobile Web users.
"In the past, people deposited valuables in banks. Now, as we
enter a digital life era, we have new demands to keep our
information safe, such as messages, files and photos," China Daily
quoted Shen as saying.
The Mcloud will help users manage nine major categories of
personal information including audio, video, calendars and
location information.
