"Of course, there are always rules and restrictions to any competition. The most important thing is that the product that we end up building follows ZTE's mission," said Jeff Yee, vice-president of technology planning at ZTE. "It must be a mobile product, technically possible by 2017 and be affordable to the general public."
中兴公司技术规划副总裁Jeff Yee说道：“当然，对于所有的比赛来说，总有那么一些规则和限制。最重要的一点是，我们最终将要制造的这款产品，要和中兴的愿景保持一致。它必须是一款移动设备、可以用2017年的技术造出来、价格可以被一般大众所接受的。”
The initiative was a "bold approach for the industry that demonstrates how ZTE keeps consumers at the heart of everything", said Lixin Cheng, chief executive of ZTE USA.
中兴美国CEO程立新表示，这个计划是“手机制造行业一个大胆的方法，这显示了中兴把消费者放在第一位的理念。”
