In the information age with the popularity of smart phones, traffic plays a role all the time. The use of smart phones, the query and diffusion of various information and various entertainment projects are inseparable from traffic. Without traffic, our mobile phones and many electronic products have also become furnishings. Recently, there is news that the mobile traffic fee will drop again. What's going on? Is it true that the mobile traffic fee will drop again? Mobile traffic fee reduction will bring a lot of convenience and benefits to many mobile users. This article brings you the specific news of mobile traffic fee reduction. Let's have a look.
How will mobile traffic charges fall again
At 9 a.m. on March 5, the second session of the 13th National People's Congress opened and the government work report of the State Council was presented. The report proposes that this year, the average broadband tariff of small and medium-sized enterprises will be reduced by another 15%, and the average tariff of mobile network traffic will be reduced by more than 20%. The "number carrying network transfer" will be implemented throughout the country to standardize package settings, so that the tariff reduction is real and consumers are clear.
According to the report, it is necessary to accelerate the development of new industries, deepen the R & D and application of big data and artificial intelligence, and cultivate emerging industrial clusters such as new generation information technology, high-end equipment, biomedicine and new energy vehicles. Adhere to inclusive and prudent supervision, support the development of new business forms and models, and promote the healthy growth of platform economy and sharing economy. We will accelerate the promotion of "Internet +" in all walks of life and in all fields. Carry out urban Gigabit broadband home demonstration, transform and improve distance education and telemedicine networks, promote the expansion and upgrading of mobile network base stations, and make users feel that the network speed is faster and more stable.
Previously, raising speed and reducing fees has been a key topic in the communication industry.
As early as 2015, the Ministry of industry and information technology began to implement the "speed up and fee reduction", which has been implemented for three and a half years. The three major domestic operators have overfulfilled their tasks ahead of time, and the total profits in 2018 exceeded 120 billion.
On January 29, the Ministry of industry and information technology issued the interpretation of statistical bulletin of communication industry in 2018, summarizing the achievements of communication industry in 2018. Among them, the telecom comprehensive price index decreased by 56.7% year-on-year, and the target task of network speed and fee reduction was completed ahead of schedule.
According to the data, in 2018, the number of mobile phone users in China reached 1.57 billion, with a penetration rate of 112.2 units / 100 people, basically one per capita.
The total number of 4G users reached 1.17 billion, accounting for 74.4% of the total number of mobile users in China. The annual net increase was 169 million, an increase of 4.2 percentage points over the previous year. The monthly average mobile Internet traffic per household was 4.42gb, and it was as high as 6.25gb/month/household in December, 2.3 times that of the same period last year. The average traffic charge has increased from 28 yuan per GB in 2017 to less than 10 yuan per GB in 2018, and the mobile traffic charge has decreased by more than 90%
In addition to the reduction of traffic charges, broadband charges have also decreased significantly. The average tariff of fixed broadband access calculated according to the price per megabyte (yuan / M) is only one tenth of that in 2014. In terms of penetration rate, by the end of 2018, the proportion of optical fiber in administrative villages across the country had reached 98%, and the total number of broadband users was 407 million, of which broadband users of 100m and above accounted for 70.3%, an increase of 31.4% over the end of last year.
It is worth mentioning that on July 1, 2018, the three operators cancelled the traffic 'roaming' fee at the same time, solving the problem of having to re apply for cards in other places, benefiting up to 780 million users.
Miao Wei, Minister of industry and information technology, recently revealed at the 2019 national industry and information technology work conference that in 2019, we will continue to carry out network speed increase and fee reduction, start the action of "double g and double increase, the same network and the same speed" of broadband network, accelerate the promotion of fixed broadband Gigabit application, do a good job in filing and card poor households and small and medium-sized enterprises, accurately reduce fees, and promote a significant reduction in roaming fees between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao.
China Mobile made it clear that it will continue to carry out speed and fee reduction in depth. Fan Zhe, project manager of the price management office of the marketing department of China Mobile Corporation, said, "in 2019, our company will successively launch fee reduction measures such as reducing traffic costs, reducing roaming costs in Hong Kong and Macao, reducing the price of special lines for small and medium-sized enterprises, and canceling monthly fixed line rental fees and long-distance fees."
A series of measures to speed up and reduce fees also pave the way for the upcoming 5g era. This also means that the 5g era can have more expectations for increasing speed and reducing fees.
In the technical field, the theoretical transmission rate of the fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5g) can reach 1GB / s, which is more than ten times faster than the current 4G speed. The development and gradual application of the fifth generation mobile communication network technology will also create new space for 'raising speed and reducing fees'.
In the long run, the fundamental force for raising speed and reducing fees is the technological revolution. The focus of raising speed and reducing fees is to build an information highway to reach the sense of people's livelihood. Promoting network speed-up and fee reduction can not only reduce the threshold for users and enterprises to use the network, but also promote the further development of related industries and release the potential of digital economy.
