Fifth Telecom spin-off report behind the scenes: triggered a strong rebound in operators

Lang "Can let radio and television do IDC business, to get the Internet export, open ISP license, not to be telecom in the router to tamper, I feel like eating hot pot singing songs as happy and content!"　　"To the Academy of Social Sciences," The fifth Telecom spin-off program Research, a radio and television industry Personage joked that he simply dare not expect to Telecom, Unicom IDC split to radio and television. February 23, the Institute of Information Research Center of the Academy of Social Sciences to throw a "fifth Telecom spin-off Program Research", the proposal will China Telecom, Unicom's Internet Data center business (that is, IDC) split out of the whole package into radio and television, and China cable network companies merged, plus radio and television video content business,　　Joint establishment of national radio and television Network group. The idea of a bold spin-off suggests a strong rebound for telecoms operators. March 3, China Telecom marketing department told the reporter clearly said: "This report is the best manifestation of the wishes of the radio and television, telecom operators will not give up the control of the IDC business." "IDC game" as early as 2003 Telecom has opened to private capital IDC business, and last year's three-network integration pilot program formulation process, telecom operators will be IDC business license as a bargaining chip to exchange the content of IPTV business control rights, this is clearly no reason.　　SARFT Science and Technology department concerned person March 4 told our correspondent. According to the SARFT, China Telecom said: "Since it is a triple-net integration, telecommunications operators should be access to the field of video content, but last year's three-network integration pilot program basically deprived the telecommunications operators IPTV business content broadcast control, in such cases, Why telecom should give up the IDC business? Obviously, the competition for IDC has become the continuation of the dominant game of the three networks of broadcasting and telecommunications.　　However, last year's overall size of only 6 billion yuan IDC business what does it mean for telecommunications? To the largest China Telecom for example, its current in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi ' an has four backbone node IDC, for the National Service, provinces and cities have built a telecommunications-grade IDC room, the main business includes host hosting, resource rental category, value-added services, such as business,　　One of the most important is that it has a monopoly licence to lease resources. 2003 with the Chinese Internet industry from the first round of bubbles out, including the century interconnection, many private IDC companies began to develop. But in February 2007, China Telecom and Netcom signed a standardized competition cooperation agreement, the North-south pattern of private IDC company to survive very difficult.　　IDC price competition between the two operators to make industry profits fall, not only that, from the second half of 2007, the two large broadband operators to the data base business from the private IDC, China Telecom even launched in the Business Hall IDC services to accept. Since then, despite the fourth round of telecommunications restructuring in May 2008, but to the end of 2010, the domestic IDC competition pattern remains the Chinese electricityLetter and China Unicom duopoly monopoly of the pattern, and network technology, century interconnection, such as private IDC business is still in difficult circumstances.　　In 2010, after the introduction of the overall scheme, the radio and TV operators finally got the chance to enter this field.　　BCC Interconnection CEO Zeng told our correspondent, the current radio and television broadband IDC business is mainly limited to Jiangsu, Shaanxi and other fields, compared with the telecom operators, the operating capacity is indeed lacking, but more important is that radio and television has not been a real IDC operating license. It is reported that China's radio and television broadband network of less than 3 million users, accounting for only 1% of China's broadband users, while the number of foreign cable broadband users accounted for more than 40%, obviously radio and television has been the next most important area of development.　　However, to make a breakthrough, in addition to making full use of the existing optical fiber network and the construction of a new high-speed NGB network, radio and television also need to be in the Internet export, ISP license plate and IDC license a breakthrough.　　Sarft said that in China's entire broadband industry chain, the basic backbone of the Internet, the International Export Bureau, Access network, as well as relying on the internet based on the network data center and huge content flow, by China Telecom and unicom two companies respectively exclusive monopoly. "This is an unfair situation, the current domestic internet is actually not really interconnected." "Zeng said:" Radio and television broadband users want to go to foreign sites, playing a relatively large capacity of the game, through the telecom operators IDC Center to land, and radio and television to pay to the telecommunications operators of the high international Internet export leasing costs and data settlement costs.　　"It is reported that in accordance with radio and television broadband current annual price of 900 yuan per household, its gross profit of about 50% to the telecom operators IDC Business Center, which is to apply for their own Internet export and IDC business license the main reason." Embarrassed by the Academy of Social Sciences report because of radio and television nationwide cable network companies are still not listed, and radio and television operators around the relatively dispersed, short-term radio and television IDC is still not likely to impact telecom operators.　　But the report by the Academy's Information Research Center has put telecoms operators under pressure. According to the report, the newly formed national Radio and Television Network group, will include China cable network company's fiber Resources + spin-off of the Internet Data Center Business + radio and television NGB strategy.　　The report said such a reorganization would solve the problem of interconnection, inter-network settlement between operators, network neutrality, a large number of radio and television video content supervision and management, and the content supervision and administration of the Internet. Qiping, Secretary General of the Information Research Center of the Academy of Social Sciences, said that after the reorganization, the Guang was fully responsible for the supervision of the broadband content media, including the issuance of broadband industry content licensing, and the supervision and management of the broadband content market.　　The newly formed national Radio and television Network company is fully responsible for the operation and service of Internet content, broadcast and TV media content, and the Ministry of Industry is dedicated to supervising the operation and competition of the telecom market. The report said Telecommunications, Unicom's IDC business accounted for only about 2% of the total revenue of the company, spin-off out of the telecommunications, Unicom's impact is not small, but this 2010-year revenue for 6 billion yuan business for radio and television but help huge, but not involved in the user delivery, it is easy to operate. Zeng that the scheme is not, in fact, a so-called restructuring of telecommunications, only to the previous market competition in the unreasonable part of the small correction, "after all, every reorganization is to make the power of the major operators more balanced" but the program quickly aroused the telecommunications operators and some netizens strongly opposed. Guangdong Unicom Marketing department told reporters: "Like radio and television is not willing to give up IPTV and other three network integration of the content of the business, telecom operators can not give up the IDC business, because the so-called reform plan should be a terminal, backbone network, platform layer, content layer, application layer and regulatory layer of the complete system.　　"Some people in the telecommunications industry pointed out that, first of all, radio and television industry operating capacity is insufficient; Secondly, the Internet content will be subject to strict scrutiny after IDC is included in radio and television, and as a basic employee of telecom IDC business, I do not want to see the integration of radio and television.　　In response to this, the SARFT Science and Technology department, the content resources (such as Life class, business class content Resource), Access service resources (such as IDC business, cloud computing business) which belong to the important ideology (such as politics, etc.) are fully open to the market, so there is no need to worry about the so-called strict content supervision.　　The "conspiracy" of radio and television?　　The report of the Academy of Social Sciences, some telecommunications people say that this is a television plot, the report must be a radio and television funding. To this, the Academy of Social Sciences Information Research Center related personage responds: "This is a completely independent report, does not have any radio and television Fund's support, on the one hand such operation Way has the successful case, on the other hand the broadband service resource monopoly causes the high bandwidth expense to introduce the broadcasting and television competition." "It is learned that BT, in 2008, negotiated with Hewlett-Packard to sell its UK data center to HP, the US computer maker, at a price of £ 1.5 billion (about $2.93 billion), a report by the Academy of Social Sciences, which amply demonstrates the disadvantage of telecoms operators avoiding content operations (content regulation, copyright management　　, cloud computing management and so on), more play good to do network access advantage, this has become an inevitable trend of the telecommunication industry. The Cass report also stressed that the current problems caused by broadband monopoly, mainly because of exorbitant tariffs, on average 100 yuan/month.　　Hong Kong 1G Bandwidth 199hkd/month. G, nearly 1000 times times the price, China's average speed is less than half the world, the charge is 124 times times South Korea. China Telecom has just released its own "Optical Network City" program as a response. According to this plan, in 5 years telecom broadband access bandwidth than the current mainstream of the 2-4 trillion increase in 10 times times, while the cost per gigabit access from the current monthly 75 yuan to 9 yuan. Guangdong Telecom People told the newspaper Reporter: "Even if there is no competition in radio and television, we alsoWill speed up the initiative and reduce costs. "In the case of BT, Zeng pointed out that the U.S. Federal Communications Law stipulates that Internet services belong to information services and do not belong to the telecommunications business; According to international practice, open Internet service is an absolute policy.　　In China, Internet Access ISP service, ICP service, are value-added telecommunications services, Internet data transmission is a basic telecommunications business, this situation needs to be broken. In his view, the telecommunications network has completed the integration of the Internet in the past 10 years, now put forward the three-net integration is the most important thing is to complete the network in the next 5-10 years and the integration of the Internet, rather than let the grid continue as an independent network to operate,　　To break this must give radio and television equal participation in the broadband business opportunities, including access to the equal ISP, IDC business license and Internet exports.　　However, telecom operators want to use IDC license plate as a chip to exchange the so-called content broadcast control rights, but can not do, but also the main reason for the continued deepening of the contradictions between the two sides.　　Radio and television experts Wu Chunyong that, radio and television to obtain telecommunications and Unicom's IDC business is impossible, even if the small cake vested interests will not easily give up, radio or television should be the main focus on its own IDC center building. He also pointed out that the Internet is the core of the integration of the three networks, is the direction of future development, but radio and television in the Internet, there is no reasonable allocation of resources and fair treatment. In this way, triple-net fusion is difficult to achieve.
