The high cost of Internet bandwidth in China will hinder the development of cloud computing

Core tip: China's Wired (fixed network) users of the broadband penetration rate has been as high as 98.3%, but the national average Internet connection speed is only 100.9kb/s, far below the global average connection speed (230.4kb/s).

China's IDC Circle July 14 reported that the high cost of Internet access in China may be beyond the imagination of many people. There is a saying that China's http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31384.html "> Broadband access cost is 7,000 times times that of South Korea, this is a bit exaggerated, we still cite an official saying:" If the income gap is taken into account , Korea's national income per capita in 2008 is 6.9 times times that of China, which means that China's broadband tariff level is equal to 124 times times that of South Korea. "-A report from the Information Research Department of the National Information Center. The current Chinese mainland residents to access the Internet price is about 100 yuan/month, enjoy the average bandwidth of less than 1M, and Hong Kong's price is 199 HKD/month, enjoy the bandwidth is 1 G. And, more importantly, I mentioned above are specifically "resident Internet access", in practice, such as Shanghai, the price of enterprise access is 10 times times the resident access.

Of course, China is already a lot of enterprises to access the Internet, for them, this is already "sunk cost", put it is put, why not use in the cloud? But China's bandwidth is not only high cost, but also very slow. CNNIC's report pointed out that although China's cable (fixed network) users of broadband penetration rate has reached 98.3%, but the average Internet connection speed is only 100.9kb/s, far lower than the global average connection speed (230.4kb/s). It can be said that our so-called broadband, which is not wide, is a narrow band.

It is impractical to change this narrow and expensive situation in the short term. Basically, China's civil Internet access (that is, enterprises and residents) is a monopoly by state-owned enterprises market: The general is nothing more than a pulse of telecommunications and radio and television, and telecommunications and netcom in most areas hold a dominant position. I think it is difficult to change the monopoly of the general nature, let alone the monopoly of the state-owned enterprises. Cloud computing These three words is not a year or two, but so far little to see what specific commercial results, the reason for the head is very complex, but the network support is weak, should be an important link.

A used to hope to help themselves to save money and also can improve the efficiency of the application, the result is expensive and slow, presumably many not like the state-owned enterprises are not bad money of private companies, is to take a good look. Cloud computing The Beautiful Picture: The future of your enterprise IT investment will not be like today according to the highest demand allocation of input, but instead with the need to use with the settlement, the implementation to the reality, it seems so embarrassing and bitter.

Therefore, the Amazon Cloud computing in the United States is unthinkable in China. Amazon has almost replaced the traditional IDC, so that even Twitter, a popular application, starts with its services. And in China? The important thing is not IDC, but the telecommunications behind it, where it will easily give up the lucrative profits. Anyone who has ever worked on the data communications business should have experienced the strength of Chinese operators.

China's cloud computing really landed, urgent need for operators to solve the Internet high access problem, this problem once resolved, China's information construction will be a breakthrough rapid progress, the benefit of the country, le?
