Hopefully we can obtain significant funds from ZTE. Here you can see they are targeting significant sales to US Carriers:

China’s ZTE (0763.HK) was the world’s No. 4 smartphone vendor in the third quarter, behind Samsung, Apple and Research In Motion. The company’s entry-level smartphones have helped it to overtake rivals like HTC, Huawei and Nokia, and now ZTE is launching a high-end offering, the ZTE Grand S. The super-thin smartphone was recently awarded the 2013 iF International Design Award, and ZTE says the Android 4.1 LTE phone will be available this quarter in China, and will come to the United States later this year.

While most of the 35 million ZTE smartphones shipped last year stayed in China, the company clearly has its eye on the United States, and says close relationships with U.S. carriers are helping it to gain a foothold. “One big reason why we can be successful in the [United States] is because we are working very closely with carriers to address their needs,” said Lixin Cheng, CEO of ZTE USA.

“Normally our competitors, when they define the product with the carriers, until they launch the product in the [United States], it takes 12 to 18 months. For us, it takes six to eight months,” said Cheng. “And how we can do that is first of all, when we design the product we are working with the carrier. … and also we have set up a lot of investment in our [research and development] environment to simulate the SIM testing environment and also the network environment of our carriers in our lab
