Split Tietong signaling reorganization end: Mobile Swallow chicken ribs difficult to digest

"It Times" reporter/Ling (from Guangzhou, Beijing) railcom this piece of "Iron", is moved reluctantly swallowed the belly, but to be a good fusion, I am afraid it will take a long time deadlocked 1.5 of the merger of CRC Matters, and finally to move to the end of the compromise.　　December 15, 2009, Mobile and the Ministry of Railways formally reached an implementation agreement-railcom a two, "private network" transferred to the Ministry of Railways, "public network" under the move, the debt of each transfer, more than 30,000 CRC staff also "people follow the matter" to the Ministry of Railways. The adjustment is the last large-scale changes in personnel and assets since the restructuring of the telecommunications major since May 23, 2008.　　So far, telecommunications restructuring finally ended. "Railcom will remain independent and will not be renamed." "Mobile president Wang said. In the industry's view, telecommunications "Tianyi" and Unicom "Wo" brand are in the bundle of marketing, to carry out a full business competition.　　"The future mobile may fuse the ' public network ', filling fixed network short board." But a person familiar with the matter, said the CRC "public network" is a "chicken ribs", a liability of up to tens of billions of yuan, mobile is under the pressure of the Ministry of Industry only reluctantly take over, the handover day did not send high-level participation. "It is not considered to be injected into a listed company.　　Mr Wang's words also revealed hidden difficulties. The first two December 15, 2009 morning, in order to ensure the delivery of railway communication normal, railcom into the emergency response state.　　Meanwhile, parting's CRC staff farewell party is quietly underway. Railcom was established in December 2000, belongs to the Ministry of Railways, subordinate provincial Branch 31, 321 of the city branch, more than 70,000 employees, operating business is divided into "private network" and "public network" two independent system, the former for the national railway transport to provide dispatching communications and data transmission services, The latter is for the public to provide fixed-line and broadband services.　　January 2004, the Ministry of Railways will be transferred to SASAC, but with the "private network" remain in close contact. May 23, 2008 Telecom Restructuring program, the CRC merged into Mobile Group, become its wholly-owned subsidiary, Railcom chairman Zhao Jibin transferred to move Vice president.　　But the division of business, assets and personnel between the two sides has been pending. February 2009, Mobile issued a notice, the plan is divided into three stages of integration railcom: The first stage for exploration and cooperation, the full use of the agency to promote mobile services, the second stage for deep cooperation, the CRC business gradually merged into the mobile, and the use of Tietong Direct marketing channels and community channels to expand the family and the　　The third stage is the comprehensive cooperation, the two sides cooperate to construct the fusion channel based on mobile fixed network. CRC "Special network return Railway teleconference" immediately convened, discussed the split program, and set up two leading groups responsible for restructuring. December 15 last year, the split was officially launched.　　It is reported that the split agreement in accordance with the state-owned reform [2009]376] not only conducive to railway transport safety and professional management, but also to ensure the sustainable development of CRC. A piece of "chicken ribs"To date, the merger of the mobile and railcom, postponed 1.5.　　People familiar with the matter said that the reason is a lot of difficulties in restructuring, mobile is reluctant to take over. Railcom insiders Li explained that the "public network" of CRC is very weak, in the competition with telecommunications, Unicom has been in a loss state. He revealed that in the second half of 2008, the mobile commissioned a third party to the CRC carried out asset clean-up and evaluation, the results show that the CRC total liabilities of about 40 billion yuan. "Mobile executives worry that a rail joint with heavy losses will weigh on mobile performance," he said. "The fate of the 70,000 CRC employees is also a problem that makes mobile headaches." Tietong 2007-year main business income of 16.6 billion yuan, only equivalent to mobile 4%, but the number of employees is mobile 57%.　　Mr. Li revealed that at present, the CRC employees are divided into two groups, the young employees want to join the movement, that the system and better treatment; the old employees did not want to change too much and felt that they remained stable in the railway ministry. The only advantage of railcom is to make up for the shortage of the latter, "but it is not what it is." Many provincial branch offices in mobile since the end of 2008, try to cooperate with the local railcom. They are in the "mobile Switchboard, integrated v network" and other services, ready to bundle railcom landline, for the group of customers to pave the broadband network is also used by CRC's engineering team. "But the effect is not good, we have to rely on our own strength." "Mobile South, a provincial branch of high-level disclosure. He explained that Tietong Network and service are not ideal, network construction and maintenance also left a lot of hidden dangers. "From the current point of view, railcom to move the whole business deployment, the role is limited." "Some analysts said that Railcom is a piece of" chicken ribs ", mobile can completely shake off its operating wireless landline.　　In fact, Mobile has launched TD Wireless landline. The Ministry of Railways is unwilling to let go of the "private network" of Railcom, which is profitable in a monopolistic position. With the increase of new railways and the increasing pressure of railway communications, the Ministry of Railways has a special interest in the "private network".　　Data show that in 2009, the newly-started railway projects, about 70, the scale of 1.4 trillion yuan, of which many lines are using the GSM-R technology. Can only accept the loss of assets, the profit of assets can not be, move of course reluctantly. People familiar with the matter said the move was under pressure from the ministry. In order to make the full use of CRC resources, the Ministry of Industry and even under the special article, the request to move in addition to TD, other fixed network services can only authorize the CRC to operate. "These policies reflect the intention of the above, not the operators themselves can decide."　　"Analysts say. CRC staff said that the beginning of cooperation, the two sides issued a number of joint coordination mechanism and promotional programs, railcom also agents of mobile number and charge business. But later found that each other's billing system and customer service system is not unified, and back to the state of each other. "Routine communication sessions are changed from once a week to two weeks, or even once a month." "Some analysts pointed out that railcom this piece of" chicken ribs "is the product of the old system, the matter has been, move should be put aside the mentality of the outcome, in the "mobile + broadband + Fixed" bundle of business, as far as possible to retain CRC existing users, and then upgrade it to 3G users. Telecom's "Sky Wing" and Unicom's "Wo" brand has already launched bundled marketing, the communications market has gradually turned to the whole business competition. But many people in the industry told reporters, "Although railcom has fixed-line and broadband services, but the coverage is too small, the overall significance is not large." The first problem to be solved at present is the loss of Tietong. Mr Wang said that the basic structure of the CRC ' public network ' would not be changed greatly, and that it would be used as an independent subsidiary company in the fixed communications business and not be included in the listed companies for the time being. "It seems that railcom this piece of" iron ", although was moved to swallow the belly, but to good digestion, I am afraid it will take a long time.
