Mobile Jego will shut down the domestic call function

Sina Science and technology Cang for the recent suspension of China Mobile "class Skype application" Jego suspend new user registration, people familiar with the matter, said China Mobile will not really give up jego, but by the domestic ban on Internet telephony policy restrictions, will make jego shut down the domestic users of communication and video functions, Both domestic and international registered users can use Jego when they are overseas, once jego completes this technical improvement will be online again. To prevent export according to China Mobile International, Jego is an internet-based International telecommunications product issued by China Mobile International Limited to provide more convenient, preferential and quality-assured international telecommunications services for overseas and international roaming clients. Jego, an insider at China Mobile International, a senior unit of China Mobile, said the main problem with the official launch of the Apple App Store and Google Play on June 1 was the problem of "export", where registered users far exceeded international subscribers, Because Jego at the current stage of use is free, many domestic users use Jego to make international calls, no cost. Jego's biggest feature is that no matter where the user is in overseas, just install Jego on the mobile phone and connect to the data network, you can call the world's mobile and fixed telephone for free or preferential price. A few 0.022 dollars a minute from overseas to China, about 0.13 yuan, is cheaper than Skype, the world's best-known Internet telephony tool. Worse, a lot of domestic users use Jego to communicate with other domestic users, this is the network phone, the result is to trigger the policy red line, do not modify the application of the paragraph does not. Therefore, the China Mobile International Company's bulletin also said, "because Jego network is designed for roaming and overseas customers, networks and nodes are overseas, and jego products and systems are currently in the trial tuning stage, China Mobile International will suspend the registration of Jego new customers since June 22, 2013 and temporarily close the use of audio and video telephony between Jego and Jego in mainland Chinese customers. The contradiction between the ambitions of overseas markets and the domestic business highlights the international experience China Mobile is seeking to draw from, and the conflicting ideas of China Mobile overseas companies and Headquarters departments. At present, the world's major telecommunications companies have launched their own instant messaging and Internet telephony services. Last year, France telecom operator Orange launched instant messaging and voice service application Libon, to provide users with low-cost Internet telephony services. China Mobile has also been trying to learn the advanced experience of overseas operators, and this is the operator of China Mobile International Company. China Mobile International is also the initiator of the incident. China Mobile International Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chinese mobile, for the global development of international voice, International mobile roaming, Internet and other international business. The subsidiary was established only two years ago by China Mobile. Unlike ChinaChina Unicom has an international department, China Mobile, which originally involved international business with foreign investment offices and marketing department's International Business office, has in the past two years complained that international roaming is expensive, China Mobile has merged part of its marketing department's international operations and subordinate Hong Kong companies to set up "China Mobile International Limited" in Hong Kong. The subsidiary is not an international mergers and acquisitions business, but mainly engaged in international roaming business operations. China Mobile still has its foreign investment office, its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Pakistan, as well as foreign mergers and acquisitions and expansion are still largely the responsibility of the foreign investment Office, but previously the UK offices under the Foreign investment office have been converted to China Mobile International Limited. It is noteworthy that China Mobile International Limited is located in Hong Kong, it is reported that in addition to strong international voice, roaming, internet business, China Mobile executives also believe that, compared with the mainland, Hong Kong's most important advantage is talent, and China Mobile in expanding its overseas business also depends on the role of Hong Kong's information Appoint Hong Kong employees to do due diligence on new overseas projects. This shows China Mobile's ambition to expand overseas markets, so the executives of China Mobile International are all Hong Kong people, and their thinking style may be inconsistent with the headquarters Department of China Mobile group company. Plus China Mobile International Company also has KPI assessment, also need to earn profits, so its launch jego was originally want to learn the experience of Western operators to earn network phone money, did not think of the Internet without Borders, but is the domestic user registration enthusiastically, deviated from the original intention to launch the business overseas. Different enterprise to push the difference of network telephone jego the improvement of China Mobile is actually castration version, will shut down the domestic users of communication and video functions, is expected to cause domestic users dissatisfaction, but China Mobile also helpless. The trouble with China's move is that there are regulatory policies that are wrong. Currently on the market micro-letter and other OTT business support for many people at the same time dialogue, has been in the category of Internet telephony, but the competent government departments so far have not made it clear that micro-letter, such as OTT business is legal or illegal, but to support business innovation, and Skype was absolutely a very powerful innovation, Therefore, whether innovation is to be supported by many telecom industry people think it is debatable. At present, Skype network telephone and micro-letter and other OTT business is in fact two kinds of fate, early analysis of the industry, this may be because the former is a foreign enterprise operation, to China's impact is the domestic operators, to earn the domestic consumer money, and micro-credit and other OTT business is domestic enterprises, Whether the violation of domestic regulations on Internet telephony can be negligible. At the moment, China Mobile is also a domestic enterprise, but because it is a state-owned central enterprise, in the management is considered should be "more rules", the result is that China Mobile to launch a network phone may face punishment, so that their decision to suspend, but private enterprises seem to be unrestricted, Because a small number of private enterprises to launch such a business is called "Business innovation."
