China's internet penetration so far, the access to the market most of the enmity, ups and downs and contradictions, behind the net settlement.  The controversy over this core proposition, the fierce contradictions, the people of the discussion, far more than other industrial issues wen/"Financial national weekly" reporter Wang Yunhui china Internet access in the history of the most brutal "cleaning" is pulling the curtain. As of today, the bandwidth export of CRC has been interrupted by 41Gbps, accounting for nearly 20% of all the bandwidth of Tietong. "September 17, a CRC personage to" Finance and Economics national weekly "reporter discloses.  And according to the "Financial National weekly" reporter obtained a CRC internal documents, from August 12 to September 9, just 27 days, only Guangdong Railcom broke out 37,477 user complaints, 38443 users refused to pay, and has 28210 users face the net.  In this industry vibration, in addition to railcom, there are many manufacturers "injured", shaking the Internet users or more than 10 million users.  China Telecom is the source.  In early August 2010, China Telecom issued internal file requirements, the provincial companies to the high bandwidth and access to clean line, in addition to the backbone of the normal interconnection point of the core, cleaning up all other operators and interconnected units such as penetration of the flow of access.  The storm has now begun.  Operators insiders believe that China Telecom hopes to use the established industry regulations to combat vulnerable operators and radio and television, to increase the operating costs of rivals, thus ultimately consolidate their own broadband market. "Black and white list" As with other telecommunications services, the Internet is also based on interconnection, users access to each other will generate traffic, when users visit other networks, generated traffic needs to settle each other to make up for the construction of network and the cost of providing services.  At this time, who to who settlement, the settlement of the amount of money, is the key issue. At present, the interconnection between domestic operators are mainly three ways: one is the backbone of direct link, the second is through the NAP point interconnection, third, through Third-party access. But either way, you have to create a clearing between the nets.  According to the Ministry of Regulation, in order to compensate China Telecom and Unicom Backbone network investment, network settlement mode for other operators to their one-way settlement. "To China Telecom settlement is actually no problem, the problem is that China Telecom is now a one-way settlement into the fight against rival nuclear weapons."  "said one operator.  According to the Ministry of Regulation, there are two types of net settlement, one is through the National Exchange Center node interconnection, other networks to 1000 yuan/month/M price settlement; the other is the network with China Telecom or Unicom direct access, the settlement costs of their own consultations.  But in the actual operation, China Telecom has set up a "black and white list" to be priced differently. "Caijing National Weekly," a reporter obtained an internal data show that China Telecom to 45M above the Internet line access divided into two categories of users, such as Unicom, railcom, mobile 3 basic operators, as well as education network, the Great Wall broadband two national units, must be directly accepted by the Chinese telecommunications group business. In addition, Citic Network andThe units of the broadcasting and television organizations, the two regional units, must be approved and accepted by China Telecom.  In addition to the above users of other users belong to the second category, China Telecom provincial companies can directly accept business, but also to carry out price control, to avoid the first category of users to provide transfer. One operator said that China Telecom's treatment of two types of users varies enormously. The first type of user's settlement prices are generally up to 1 million yuan/g/months, the second type of user's settlement price is generally only 250,000 ~42 million/g/months.  A IDC manufacturer in charge of the company revealed that in some areas, the second category of customers to China Telecom to buy bandwidth prices even 100,000 yuan/g/months. "China Telecom's intention is clear, that is, through the establishment of a far higher than the market price of the settlement standards, to raise the cost of bandwidth access to competitors, so as to curb the development of competitive broadband business, maintain their monopoly position."  "said one local operator.  The price is hard for other operators to accept. "If in accordance with China Telecom's requirements of the settlement standards, even if not to consider the development and maintenance of the cost of users, in addition to all the broadband business revenue, railcom each year to pay more than 600 million yuan, in order to meet the settlement costs paid to China Telecom." "The above CRC insiders said, according to the SASAC's latest release of the SASAC state-owned enterprises operating in 2009, railcom 2009 operating income of 8.04 billion yuan, the total profit of 890 million yuan, and if all in accordance with China Telecom requirements of 1.1 million yuan/g/month standard, railcom only the net settlement costs,  China Telecom will pay more than 3 billion yuan a year.  The dilemma of Tietong is not exceptional, and other vulnerable operators also face the embarrassing situation of "working at a loss".  But because 60% of China's broadband access users, 65% of the content resources and the main international export bandwidth are concentrated in the hands of the Chinese telecom, the total network of Internet traffic flow through the China Telecom network, the weak operators and China Telecom network clearing between the inevitable. Cleaning "flow through" however, the weak operators still found the chance: Some companies in China Telecom to buy bandwidth, not their own use, but resell to railcom, radio and television and other vulnerable operators to earn the difference.  Nevertheless, the price of access bandwidth for the vulnerable operators is still far below the China Telecom's settlement standards, often can be as low as 300,000 yuan/g/months or even more.  In the industry, this path is called "flow through", it is China Telecom's iron fist cut off the "cleaning target." For "flow through", China Telecom has been highly resisted. In this previous internal material, China Telecom believes that "competitors do everything possible to inquire around, low-cost access to the backbone of the network in a variety of ways to reduce costs in the broadband market there is room for price reduction", and estimates that "flow penetration" so that the average cost of competitors per user can be reduced by 25 yuan/month. "In addition, the industry's prevailing unspoken rule is that the strong operators will occasionally to the vulnerable operators of direct access to" tamper with, reduce their user experience, to enhance their competitiveness. and "Traffic wearsThrough ", the vulnerable operators to bypass this barrier.  Interestingly, although over the years China Telecom has been defending, but all over the "flow through" has not disappeared, and even a growing trend. "The key reason is local interest. "A telecommunications insider said, for the telecommunications of local companies, the clean-up flow will affect the size and performance of business, and in a lot of reselling the bandwidth of the company behind, looming the internal staff of telecommunications, the shadow, so always repeatedly clear. "In addition, because of the increasing market competition pressure, the ' flow through ' the demand is increasing, has been from the minor into organized large-scale penetration." Vulnerable operators are often a province by China Telecom card traffic, immediately adjust the route, the use of flow through the province from B province to dredge flow. "" Through the third party roundabout access to China Telecom, is already a weak operator of the common behavior.  "This personage discloses, the Internet traffic is biggest, the user is most concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other provinces and cities, is the flow penetrates the most dense place, also became China Telecom this inventory and hit the key area." "In Guangdong, for example, at least 10 companies have been disconnected from the Internet in the past two months.  A Guangdong operator said.  In the "Big clean", a large number of Internet users have also been Chille.  According to industry sources, since the beginning of August China Telecom began to clean up, Unicom, railcom, Mobile, the Great Wall broadband and even local radio and television organizations, such as Internet access vendors, are affected by different degrees of impact, user complaints, the number of net withdrawal significantly increased, and users and operators between the contradictions in the intensification  Tough behind the clean "flow through" compared to the past, the attitude of China Telecom tough, many people in the industry think "to hardball lattice." In the internal notice, China Telecom Group requirements, the provincial companies to the requirements of self-examination, verified that the illegal access immediately repaying and to the group, not to delay the rectification of other reasons.  In order to prevent local companies because of performance or interest tricks, China Telecom also requested provinces to other provinces, the abnormal flow of the report, the group verified after serious treatment.  In addition, China Telecom also issued a strict standard of punishment: once verified, the first month of double deduction of illegal provincial company business income of 1 million yuan, after the monthly increase by 1 million yuan deduction business income. "Clearly, China Telecom's goal is clear, is to use high-pressure policy to clean the ' inside ghost '."  Said the operator, who did not want to be named.  The person believes that, with the integration of three networks gradually, hand-held content and broadcast control resources of the radio and television system will be integrated into the army by stragglers, which makes China Telecom feel pressure, which is to make China Telecom determined to increase clean-up efforts of the key reasons. After the 2008 telecom reorganization, the three major operators have gradually formed a relatively dislocation of the competition pattern. Mobile in the steady development of TD at the same time, deep 2G users, actively promote LTE, the overall strategy is to defend the attack; Unicom, by virtue of WCDMA standard Advantage, occasion iphone with 3G, its goal is to snatch the mobile high-end market;China Telecom, which has a broadband advantage resource and a relatively weak CDMA industry chain, is more in the mobile communications market, aiming to take the broadband market as a breakthrough and to integrate the whole business into other operators.  This means that the success of the broadband business has become the lifeblood of China Telecom survival.  In the broadband market, mobile and Unicom does not constitute a threat, ready to send radio and television may directly threaten China Telecom hinterland. Industry analysts said that as the radio and television operators have direct access to the user's home of the national cable television network, has the ability to break through China Telecom's natural blockade of the site network to provide users with high bandwidth at a lower price; at the same time, in the three-network convergence trend, more than 300 radio and television operators across the country  The Forth operator ", thus gradually free of reliance on telecom operators, to individuals, families and even group customers to provide broadband services. Not long ago, SARFT deputy director Haitao disclosed in public, SARFT is the establishment of national radio and television Network company, the overall idea and basic principles have been reported to the central approval.  And according to Sarft's NGB (Next Generation Broadcasting network) planning, to 2015 years of large-scale construction of the nationwide network of operations, single user actual access rate will reach 100M, enough with China Telecom head-on confrontation. However, as long as one-way settlement policy unchanged, even if the radio and television network is completed, still not open China Telecom and Unicom.  Therefore, China Telecom to clean up the third party access, but also by the industry as a blocking radio and television counterattack access to the plan. NET settlement policy to be adjusted "in accordance with existing policies, ' traffic penetration ' behavior is indeed a violation, but the problem is that the policy introduced many years ago has been disconnected from the current market situation."  "In the interview, a number of operators and experts said. Since the popularization of China's Internet, access to the market most of the grievances, ups and downs and contradictions, behind the net settlement.  The controversy surrounding this core proposition, the fierce contradictions, the public, far more than other industrial issues. In 2001, Mii first introduced an online settlement. The approach has been questioned for several years. Opponents believe that one-way settlement means that the weak operators not only to the network users to access the content of strong operators pay, but also for the strong operators to use their own content services to pay, which is unfair.  In addition, the cost and rate of clearing between the net is a controversial issue.  2004, 2006 and 2007, Mii Three Degrees of change in the process of clearing the net, are only the net settlement costs and other details of the adjustment, one-way settlement of the game rules have been retained. What is more, even if the details are changed every time, it is the sacrifice cost of the disadvantaged operators that can be promoted.  One internet operator said. An example is, in July 2006, the first in the basic operators to get the national chain of Internet cafes operating licence of the Unicom, a comprehensive shut down its internet cafes once more than 2,500 Unicom network court business; In the same year, Tietong6 Provinces and cities chain of Internet cafes business is also closed.  The two companies shut down the business of Internet cafes, are overwhelmed by the then China Telecom and Netcom hit.  This incident caused a great shock, the following year, Mii again to amend the net settlement method, settlement charges from the highest 2.2 million/g/months, down to 1 million yuan/g/month, this is also a number of changes, the biggest change.  3 years later, with the cost of Internet access falling, the price of 1 million yuan/g/month has become high again. "There has been a new change in the pattern of the market, and we expect the Government to adjust its clearing policy once again," he said.  "One operator called for a change in the way the settlement is not expected, but if it can cut the clearing price of the Internet Exchange Center, and the government coordination between the leading operators and the weak operators direct settlement price down to a reasonable interval, for the vulnerable operators, is also a satisfactory result." "In the worst case, even if the government only allows ' traffic penetration ', it can also prevent vulnerable operators from being pushed to the end." "The person said.
