Experts suggest Beijing fixed-line monthly rent should be open for hearing

Washington (reporter Yang Med) Beijing fixed-line telephone 21.6 yuan rental fee has been implemented for 10 years.　　This morning in the City Association convened to promote the reform of telecommunications fees, some experts and lawyers suggested that the relevant departments should organize a fixed-line monthly hearing of the rent, to promote the telecommunications companies in accordance with the principle of fairness and the relevant provisions of the law, a substantial reduction or cancellation of fixed monthly rent charges.　　At the same time, in response to consumer concerns about the balance of mobile phone cards, the National Development and Reform Commission macroeconomic Research Institute related Personage also said that the mobile phone card should not set the consumption period to facilitate consumers. "Telecommunications enterprises to charge users a monthly fee is arbitrary charges, the user has the right to know what the fixed-line monthly rent," Zhongxiaoxie, head of the Law group Chu Baochang said that the number is the state resources, telephone user-owned, communication lines are the operating costs of telecommunications companies. These are not the rental object. Therefore, if the carrier wants to collect the so-called fixed-line monthly fee, first of all should be clear to the user what is the target of rental.　　If there is no rental of the subject matter and to the customer, only to explain that the telecommunications enterprises in the market exclusive status of arbitrary charges to users. If the carrier thinks that the monthly fee is for the laying of telecommunications lines, it is unreasonable, says Qiu. Because laying the line is the basic condition that it must have to provide the telecommunication service. The cost of laying pipelines is the operating cost of telecommunication companies and should not be passed on to consumers. And the water and gas companies also have to lay pipelines, much higher than the cost of telephone lines, "Are they also charging costs?" In addition, fixed monthly rent charges are suspected of duplication.　　Telephone charges are originally charged by the minute, consumers have to use the telephone to pay the corresponding costs, no need to pay a separate monthly fee. Qiu's lawyer believes that fixed-line monthly rent charges should be heard.　　Fixed monthly rental fee collection, the number of the relevant departments should organize hearings to demonstrate. In response to the problem of mobile phone recharge card balance, the national Development and Reform Commission macroeconomic Research Institute, director of the market and Price Research department, Wang Xueqing said the balance is actually reflected in the buyer forced to accept the seller's conditions.　　He suggested that operators sell cards can not agree on the consumption period, users want to when consumption when consumption, if there is a period of cards, should consider a discount, stimulate consumption. Liu Yan, a member of Beijing's CPPCC, said telecoms companies should not absorb other costs by setting service deadlines and balances. Consumer consumption is a choice, do not through the format of the contract to eliminate the rights of consumers.
