Xi Guohua believes that opportunities and challenges coexist. If we can grasp well, the opportunities will outweigh the challenges.

"For example, voice and SMS have peaked, but we are fortunate to start a shift from voice to traffic management, and one day traffic will be saturated, so we need to focus more on content and applications." Xi Guohua said that this is how to deal with the development of OTT should take measures.

Xi Guohua believes that in terms of wireless networks, "high efficiency" is mainly reflected in the outbreak of traffic growth, wireless network transmission should reach the level of optical fiber, zero latency, but also have hundreds of billions of link devices. In fact, these four points are also the operators' goal of developing 5G in the future.

In the wired network, Xi Guohua think should be functional virtualization, software-defined networks, real-time big data analysis, real-time operational support.

"The platform is the focus of OTT competition, who has more customers, partners, will be able to win the competition." Xi Guo-hua believes that platform entry is a must for military strategists. In business, the scale of the king; technically, but also to achieve flexible resource calls.

Featured business is also China Mobile is doing things. Xi Guohua said that the network, the terminal, the content is the three major elements of mobile Internet competition, how kind of organic combination is very important.

In addition, the friendly interface proposed by China Mobile actually refers to the terminal. According to Xi Guohua introduced this year, China Mobile's smart terminal sales target is 200 million to 220 million units sold 67 million TDS terminals in the first four months of this year, the second half of this year should be mainly TDL sales.

"The current 4G mobile phones are still based on high-end, hoping to introduce more affordable 4G mobile phones, 4G smartphone below $ 1000 is now available," said Xi Guohua, China Mobile launched its own brand of 4G mobile phones, the purpose is not to make money , But rather think of a leading role in promoting partners to introduce more affordable 4G handsets.
