On Monday, the news that PHS will be delisted within three years aroused a nationwide uproar. The author learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) that the issue of the withdrawal of PHS from the Internet has long been a consensus between the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and major operators. After the document was issued on the 23rd of last month, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) intended not to publish it to the public in a hurry, but to start the network transfer work first, and then officially publish it after the network transfer work has reached a certain scale, so as to avoid large-scale riots. In the middle of last month, Xie Feibo, director of the Radio Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, deliberately played down the problem of the frequency band of PHS when revealing the spectrum allocation, emphasizing that the frequency band of PHS should be gradually withdrawn from the network.

      However, the massive withdrawal of PHS from Network 3 came from the intentional disclosure of China Mobile, which directly disrupted the work steps of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on PHS network transfer. This has caused the anger of the senior management of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. According to the internal information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, relevant leaders have criticized China Mobile. It is reported that when Big Brother withdrew from the network, it was very difficult. The telecom company offered up to 200000 yuan to take back a phone. Just yesterday, after the news of the withdrawal of PHS from the Internet was announced, netizens made intense comments. Many people said they would not withdraw from the Internet. Some netizens even filed a collective complaint against the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Many people also said they would become nail households and "blackmail" telecom companies. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is obviously afraid of causing a disturbance among 70 million users, which is a responsibility that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology cannot bear.

　  In recent days, the biggest focus of the telecommunications industry is asymmetric regulation. After the news of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's low-key number carrying test in Tianjin and Shenzhen was reported by the media, the long pending asymmetric regulation was quickly amplified into the focus of the industry. Chang Xiaobing, the president of China Unicom and the CEO of Hong Kong listed company, confirmed at the shareholders' meeting that he had received the notice to carry out the test of "carrying number to network" in Tianjin and Shenzhen. However, Chang Xiaobing stressed that this does not mean that the government is fully launching the "asymmetric regulation" policy to maintain the balanced development of the industry. In other words, China Unicom still hopes that the government will speed up the decision-making and implementation of asymmetric regulation.
Coincidentally, this Monday, the four major operators announced their operating data for August. China Mobile's users continued to grow, fixed network users continued to drain, and the growth rate of broadband users also declined. China Mobile added 7.2 million users in August, compared with 7.1 million users in July, the growth rate continued to increase. China Unicom added 510000 new users in August, an increase of 540000 compared with July, and the growth rate dropped. The fixed line subscribers of the two fixed line operators continued the downward trend. China Netcom's fixed line subscribers decreased by 407000 in August, and China Telecom's fixed line subscribers decreased by 690000 in August. Compared with China Netcom's 302 thousand fewer subscribers in July and China Telecom's 600 thousand fewer subscribers, the decline continued to increase significantly. The data shows that China Mobile has not increased the competitive pressure and the market strength has not decreased in the past few months when the telecom restructuring actually started. This makes many people of insight worried about whether the restructuring goal can be successfully achieved.

      Recently, the asymmetric regulation of the telecommunications industry has suddenly become particularly eye-catching due to two events. First, the case of Li Fangping, a Beijing lawyer, suing Beijing Netcom for illegally applying differential treatment to prepaid users by taking advantage of its monopoly position has been officially filed in Beijing. Li Fangping had sued on similar issues before, but he lost the lawsuit. Another thing is that recently, the news that Shenzhen and Tianjin will carry out the pilot program of transferring their numbers to the Internet was reported by the media, which was immediately amplified into the big news of national concern. Two things lead to the problem of how to avoid differential pricing resulting in differential treatment of users, which is particularly urgent and severe in the telecommunications industry where the competition pattern is seriously unbalanced. Although the ongoing telecom restructuring will alleviate this problem to a certain extent, it still depends on how asymmetric regulation can create an effective competitive market, so as to truly safeguard users' choice.
Differential pricing limits user options
In fact, the phenomenon of differential pricing in the telecommunications industry has a long history. This phenomenon is more obvious in the mobile communication market where the competition is especially insufficient. Just from the current mobile communication charging standard of China Mobile, in addition to the monthly rent, China Mobile users will also incur high charges for sending short messages because the recipient is a user of China Mobile's competitors. There is a problem of differential pricing for mobile short messages. The charging standards are different both inside and outside the network, that is, 0.1 yuan for each message in the mobile network, but 0.15 yuan for each message sent to Unicom mobile phones or PHS. For a long time, non voice services such as SMS have been treated differently, which is not only criticized by the industry, but also has been

The Beijing Olympic Games has come to a successful conclusion. At this Olympic Games, the communication content was unprecedentedly complex, Internet video was first widely spread, and communication information was more multimedia. From the network construction of Olympic venues to the launch of mobile TV and other new businesses, and the important role of new network media in this Olympic communication, This Olympic Games has truly become a grand "communication Olympics".

New Information Technology Shakes Traditional TV Broadcasting

  two thousand and eight The Beijing Olympic Games, the extremely high network dissemination announced the arrival of the "Internet Olympic Games" era. The Olympic Games in full swing has ended, but China's Internet is still booming. GroupM, a world-famous media investment management organization, recently released two thousand and eight The Chinese media industry forecast in pointed out that the holding of the Olympic Games will inject a "shot in the arm" into the development of online advertising. estimate two thousand and eight Online advertising revenue will increase in 65%

        Globally, the mobile investment focus of the world's major operators has shifted to 3G, and the global 3G users have accounted for 15% of all mobile users. In this regard, China, as a major communication country in the world, has lagged behind for several years, but China has the absolute strength to come from behind. China's mobile phone users have exceeded the total population of the United States and Japan. With the telecom restructuring nearing the end, full service competition in the telecom industry is poised, and China's 3G has entered the "tranquility" before explosive growth.

                      Global 3G ushers in explosive growth
        Since the beginning of the year, the growth rate of global 2G network users has slowed down significantly, and the current development theme of mobile communication has shifted to 3G. Japan's largest mobile operator NTT DoCoMo said that from November 30 this year, its PDC based 2G service, namely mova, will stop accepting new customers. In addition, the operator will also cancel the regular charge of 2100 yen (US $19) for its customers to transfer from mova to 3G "FOMA" services, in order to encourage customers to transfer to 3G. Earlier this year, it was reported that the operator would stop accepting orders for 2G mobile services after finishing the existing 2G mobile phone inventory. Last month, it was reported that Softbank, DoCoMo's competitor, would close its 2G network at the end of March 2010 to fully develop 3G services. According to market research company Wireless Intelligence statistics as of the end of the second quarter of 2008
