Why is the 5g set meal worth a few Jin of pork?

The price of pork has become a hot topic

The 5g package tariff policies of the three major operators have been fully announced, almost all of which start at around 128 yuan, and the rules of charging by rate have been introduced for the first time. That is to say, if you want to "full speed" 5g network, it will naturally cost more money China Mobile 5g package tariff

The lowest 128 yuan looks neither high nor low. The 4G package at the same price is indeed a "smooth transition". Take Beijing Mobile as an example. At present, no matter 4G or 5g, 128 yuan can get 30GB in package traffic, which is exactly the same.

Nowadays, the price of pork in the supermarket is 30 yuan or 40 yuan, and the price of slightly better pork is more than 50 yuan. A meal of ribs or braised pork is worth 5g for a month. If you want to compare 5g set meal with pork that has already soared to the sky, it seems that 5g set meal is not so expensive first ~ compared with pork, it seems that 5g set meal is not so expensive

Although the price of 128 yuan is synchronous with that of 4G, it seems "conscience", but don't forget that this is the "starting price" of 5g package. In fact, many people will not use more than 100 yuan of mobile phone packages. There are a lot of people who spend at least 10 yuan a month.

In this way, the 5g package that looks inexpensive is actually not cheap. But in fact, there are many reasons why people think 5g package is very expensive. Let's summarize a few points and see if it's in your mind?

·5g demand is not urgent

Nothing can define the price unilaterally, but lies in the trade-off between its own value and price. The reason why people now think that the 5g package starting at 128 yuan is "expensive" is that people's current demand for 5g is not urgent. It's like the double 11 although some things are very cheap, but impulse consumption can't be used after buying, which is also a waste These cutting-edge 5g application scenarios are far away from us

For the actual needs of people at present, there are WiFi coverage in many places. I believe that most people only need some simple communication and recreation on the way to work. It's true that 5g represents the general trend in the future, but at least there are no non 5g applications, 4G is enough for most of them.

·Great disparity in regional consumption

China's consumption capacity varies greatly across a vast territory. In order to make the national users reach a unified understanding, the first 128 yuan package in China is more like a slightly higher price after being homogenized. This price may be "acceptable" for residents of the first tier cities such as beishangguangshen, but it is indeed very expensive for the vast third, fourth, fifth and sixth tier cities I didn't feel that 5g would come again

No matter in accordance with the needs and consumption capacity of the people, or in terms of population density, the construction of 5g network should follow the law of gradual coverage from big cities to small cities. It is believed that in 1-2 years, 5g network will achieve more in-depth development, and branches of the three major operators will develop 5g packages more in line with local consumption level.

5g net speed "castrated"

Although we don't want to use the word "castration" to describe today's 5g network, it is true that the three major operators put forward the new mechanism of "pay as you go" for the first time when implementing 5g network. The 5g package with a minimum price of 128 yuan can only enjoy the network bandwidth of 500mbps, so in fact, it does not seem to improve much compared with 300mbps of 4G + network 5g network implements "pay as you go" for the first time

Objectively speaking, operators pay at different rates is a reasonable measure to reduce the entry price of 5g. After all, not everyone needs such high bandwidth. But users don't seem to think so. After all, from 2G to 4G, no matter how much they use or how little they use, it's "no speed limit". It will take some time for users to accept this new charging mechanism.

·Catharsis of dissatisfaction with the service

Before the launch of 5g package, people said that "the number carrying network is about to open, which is cheaper to use in the future." However, the fact is that the three major operators have made nearly the same price as they have negotiated. With all kinds of restrictions, the so-called number carrying network transfer may be just a piece of empty talk. People's dissatisfaction with 5g price is more like catharsis 4G "speed reduction gate" dissatisfied users

The outbreak of events such as new package price reduction and old users' failure to reduce, 4G "speed reduction gate" and so on, which initially made the people dissatisfied with the hegemonic operators, has now been pushed to the forefront of public opinion. In fact, most people also understand that it takes a certain time for 5G to popularize prices, but even if they don't need to use them, it is necessary to condemn the high price of 5G packages.

In the end, do you think the 5g package starting at 128 yuan is expensive or cheap? If you think the price is too expensive, what's the reason? Let's share with us.
