Optical Communications Forum and the fourth session of the FTTX Development Strategy consultation

August 11 Morning News in this morning, "2011 Optical Communications Forum and the fourth session of the FTTX Development Strategy Consultation", Ministry of Communications and Development Department deputy director Shang said that the first half of this year, China's fixed internet broadband access users added 16 million households, has reached 142 million households, including the access rate of more than 2M of broadband users have exceeded 80%, Internet broadband access to the port reached 214 million, up from the same period last year 36%, internet users reached 485 million.

Broadband has become the acceleration of economic and social development, in response to the key infrastructure and pilot areas of international competition, up to now, nearly 100 countries around the world have introduced broadband national strategies or plans, mainly aiming at two goals: first, to achieve universal broadband services, the establishment of a nationwide coverage of the benefits of broadband networks; The second is to upgrade the proposed broadband network, fiber broadband and wireless access as the core, the construction of high-speed broadband network.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the broadband program, countries through the resource security, fiscal support, application promotion, competitive incentives and other initiatives to support broadband development, in the National Broadband Strategy guidelines and the stimulus of various supporting policies, the national broadband construction accelerated forward.

Shang said that in the first half of this year, China's fixed internet broadband access users added 16 million, has reached 142 million, of which the access rate of more than 2M broadband users have exceeded 80%, Internet broadband access to the port reached 214 million, compared to a year earlier, increase 36%, Internet users reached a scale of 485 million.

At the same time, Shang frankly, "China's broadband construction in the rapid development, and the gap between the developed countries is also expanding, mainly reflected in the broadband penetration and average access speed, etc., this phenomenon is not only in China, most of the global developing countries." ”

Shang that there are two key reasons for the widening gap between China and developed countries: "First, the developed countries ' emphasis on broadband strategy and digital competitiveness is much higher than that of developing countries, and its broadband national strategic guidance and policy design begin from around 2002, much earlier than in developing countries; second, in broadband construction, Developed countries show the advantages of information superiority and comprehensive national strength, and combine with national strategy to form the leading situation of high speed development. ”

2010, the Ministry of Information and other 7 departments issued a joint "on the promotion of fiber-optic broadband network construction views", Shang revealed that "Twelve-Five" period, the ministry will focus on the promotion of work including the following six aspects:

First, continue to promote broadband speed, speed up access to the network of fiber-optic process, accelerate the current access to the network of light into the copper retreat, to the optical fiber as close to the user as the principle, vigorously promote various ways of fiber broadband network construction.

Second, expand the scope of broadband coverage to promote the extension of broadband infrastructure to rural areas. In rural areas to speed up the coverage of broadband network by various means, and gradually improve the penetration of optical fiber access, narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas to achieve basic broadband target.

Third, to optimize the broadband network structure, enhance the backbone network, metropolitan area network capacity and efficiency, further optimize the interconnection between the network, expand the bandwidth between the network, dredge all levels of broadband network bottlenecks, comprehensive consideration of energy, geography, Network Foundation and other conditions, overall planning, reasonable layout of the Internet Data Center and Cloud Computing Center development.

Finally, we should introduce new technologies of broadband, increase research and development investment and technological innovation, realize technological breakthrough in key industries, and enhance core competitiveness and independent innovation ability of enterprises.

V, to popularize broadband applications, promote broadband in E-government, E-commerce, medical transportation, education, urban management, community services and other fields of popularization, promotion and broadband video applications, the development of broadband information services and cultural and creative industries, and vigorously develop the three-network integration, things networking and other innovative applications, The coordinated development of broadband applications and broadband networks promotes each other.

Six, to protect the network and information security, to achieve green development, promote the sharing and energy conservation and environmental protection.
