Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook met with China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua, increasing hopes that Apple's products may be available in China on the China Mobile network.
A China Mobile spokesperson told Reuters that the two "discussed matters of cooperation" in the Thursday meeting at China Mobile's headquarters.
Having Apple devices available on the China Mobile network would be big for Apple as China Mobile is " the world's largest mobile carrier by subscribers," according to the report. Negotiations between the companies have been going on for years, according to the report, and are "stuck on revenue sharing terms."
Also while on his trip to China, Cook told reporters that he is "confident that China will become Apple's largest market in the near future," according to Reuters.
