The number of Chinese people who used their mobile phones to surf the Internet hit 117 million, said a report by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

Mobile Internet has become a major tool for many people to access the Web, CNNIC said, adding the number of mobile Internet users could grow even faster after the country awarded three telephone operators the licences to build the high-speed mobile phone networks.

The Chinese government last week gave the green light to operators to deploy the third generation (3G) mobile phone networks, which offers higher speed for downloading and Internet surfing.
