5, Premier Li Keqiang in the government work report mentioned, will increase the network speed drop charges efforts to realize high-speed and broadband full coverage of urban and rural areas, to expand the scope of free access to public places, reduce home broadband, broadband and business line use fees, cancellation fees, traffic "roaming" mobile Internet traffic charges reduced by at least 30% years. This news quickly aroused the enthusiastic cheers of Internet users, how will China's three major telecom operators achieve continuous cost reduction? What will the future consumer experience change?
Ma Jihua, the founder and Telecommunications expert of Dali consulting, told the Global Times reporter on 5 th that the adjustment of mobile phone tariff should take into account many factors, such as the income level of residents, the affordability of consumers, and the growth of consumer price index. In the past two years, the capacity of consumers is increasing, and consumers are increasingly "dared" to use their mobile phones to surf the Internet, and the sensitivity of the price is also decreasing.
However, there are also consumers, the annual cost reduction, but it seems that the phone costs have not significantly decreased. Ma Jihua explained that this is because consumers often only pay attention to the total cost, without taking into account the amount of traffic is increasing, "despite the drop in fees, but the use of user traffic growth is greater than 30%, which makes the flow cost not only does not necessarily reduce, or even increase." Ministry data show that in September last year, the average mobile traffic consumption by mobile users in China reached 2007.2MB, an increase of 140.4% over last year. In the first three quarters of last year, the average rate of per G mobile flow rate fell by 48.3%.
Ma Jihua said that, of course, the cost reduction is good for consumers, but whether it can be felt is related to the specific situation of the consumer. He believes that a few years' down payment has little impact on the revenue of the three operators, and the profit margins of all businesses have also increased. Even if mobile traffic is reduced by 30%, it is acceptable. However, the profit growth of the three major operators in the last ten years is lower than the growth of China's GDP, indicating that the cost reduction has caused a certain impact. But he stressed that even if the government does not require a reduction, the fierce competition between the three major operators also requires the need to reduce the cost. Of course, the biggest beneficiary of the fast down fee is the Internet Co.
Ma Jihua said that the way to reduce costs is a lot, before the communication fees are relatively thin, with the development of business changes, a lot of the cost is gradually abolished. In the past, it was canceled in the set meal, and it may be cancelled in the future. The cost of the package is becoming more and more simple. This is the direction of future development.
According to the government work report to cancel the flow of "roaming" fee, reduce the mobile network flow rate and other requirements, the three major operators have made a statement. China Telecom, 5, sent a statement to the Global Times reporter that China Telecom must resolutely implement the policy of "speed up and reduce costs", and will act immediately and go all out to ensure that all related initiatives will be implemented as soon as possible. China Unicom and mobile 5 also said that the policy of "speeding up the cost reduction" will immediately act and go all out.
