News background-Beijing Association of the consumer of the proposal: lower fixed telephone base this month-national Development and Reform Commission reply: We agree with netizens said listen to me a word of persuasion see? The number of fixed telephone users has been less than half of the mobile phone users, the cost is so high!　　Do not fall, after a few years, do you want to repeat the BP machine "forgotten in the rivers and lakes" fate? Yesterday, according to Beijing media reports, the Beijing Association in mid-October this year to the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Information officially submitted on the gradual reduction of fixed telephone base this month's rental fee proposal. The National Development and Reform Commission price division has given written answers to the proposal, that the consumer association proposal "reflects the broad masses of consumers ' voice and will, and our work mentality and direction are basically consistent, we agree."　　"and proposed a fixed telephone base for the monthly fee adjustment program." So, shout the number of years of fixed-line monthly rental fee, this is really expected to cut down?　　The reporter launched an investigation into the matter.　　How much is the landline now? Nanjing has a "guaranteed fee" not to play at least 10 yuan per month to reduce fixed-line monthly fee calls have been very high.　　Earlier, a number of fixed-line and mobile phone costs have been reduced, but fixed monthly rental fee has not changed for ten years.　　The reporter learned from the operators yesterday that to Nanjing home users For example, the use of fixed telephone, each month has a certain "guaranteed costs", some are called monthly rent, some call the minimum consumption, or to call the display, color ring and other value-added business costs form-in short, each monthly fixed-line expenditure has a minimum value. For example, the telecom 10000 hotline staff told reporters that the family fixed-line, the monthly rental fee is 21.6 yuan, whether the choice of standard rates, or to deal with some packages, must pay this fee.　　In addition, dial local network, the first 3 minutes fee is 0.2 yuan, after 0.1 yuan per minute. Unicom 10010 Hotline staff said that the cable fixed only one package, the minimum monthly consumption is 15 yuan; there is a wireless fixed monthly minimum consumption is 30 yuan.　　This means that, after the home fixed, even if not dozen every month, but also to pay at least 10 yuan fee. Fixed-line users less than half of the mobile phone users have a package in disguise "price" "Our family is now fixed exclusively for the elderly, children," The interview, a user told reporters.　　There are also young users, simply do not need to fix the phone, basically dozen mobile phones. According to the latest statistics of Jiangsu Provincial Communications Administration, there has been no increase in fixed-line users in recent years, as of September this year, there were 25.2575 million subscribers, while mobile subscribers were 57.837 million.　　This means that the number of fixed phone users is already only half of the mobile phone users.　　Industry insiders said, of course, this and mobile phones, fixed telephone different characteristics of the home installed a fixed line, you can use the whole family.　　In addition, the reporter learned from the operating enterprises, the province of household charges with the average down, each household in 20 yuan per month to forty or fifty yuan, to slightly lower than the same operator's mobile phone users monthly expenses. But on the other hand, a userPuzzled to tell reporters: "For example, I do not surf the internet, on a fixed-line every month, the general cost of more than 40 yuan, that inside the monthly rental costs accounted for half, this proportion is too high, there should be a lot of drop space!"　　The reporter learned that, now, some packages have taken the form of "disguised", so that the monthly rental fee looks "lower".　　As for the end of how much, to the telecommunications 98 Yuan E Home Package For example, the cost of 98 yuan per month, including 150 hours of internet time, as well as 10 yuan of local call fees, caller ID, color ring fee, 21.6 yuan fixed monthly rent is included in it, so many users feel that the package after the relatively cost-effective.　　How to reduce the fixed charges? The NDRC said: "Either lower the monthly rent or drop the call fee according to the Beijing Media, the National Development and Reform Commission Price division in the reply:" The current fixed telephone market competition is not sufficient. "Although the actual level of rents for this month has declined," there is still a gap between expectations and consumers. "The price division of the NDRC also proposed a fixed telephone base for the monthly fee adjustment program, said" will guide enterprises on the existing basis, to develop more flexible tariff scheme. If the number of calls to more users, charge a higher fixed fee, reduce or eliminate the cost of each call. The Development and Reform Commission proposed another option: "A small number of calls to the user, the implementation of a slightly higher call costs, the corresponding reduction or exemption from the base this month's rent."　　"In this way, consumers can choose according to their own needs and consumption habits, affordability and so on." "The monthly fee should be reduced by at least half the cost of fixing the phone," said the ministry expert. The Ministry of Telecommunications Research experts have said that the operating costs have been greatly reduced to the previous 1 per thousand, or even one out of 10,000, the current fixed-line base this month is significantly higher rental costs.　　In accordance with the current operating costs, the monthly rental fee should be reduced by at least 50%, and in the monthly fee should include a certain number of minutes. Professor Nanjing said: "The monthly rent should contain some call fees" years ago, I installed a fixed cost of 6000 yuan initial installation fee, "Yesterday in the interview, a long time engaged in communication industry research, Nanjing University of Telecommunications, Professor Fan Pengfei told reporters that over the years, whether it is fixed, or mobile phones, the overall trend is to gradually reduce tariffs." But he also said that operators for many years also bear the task of village phone calls, the overall profit is not so big.　　Moreover, the current fixed-line market has been very saturated, once the abolition of monthly rental costs, the cost of pressure will be considerable. Fan Pengfei that the fixed-line monthly fee cancellation is not realistic, but, "I believe that a part of the monthly rental fee should be reduced." In developed countries, fixed-line charges are largely not or symbolically charged for some monthly rent.　　And in concrete ways he thinks that to supplement the telephone bill to improve the use of fixed-line method is better, "fixed this equipment installed, not to play is a kind of idle", you can in the fixed monthly rent fee appropriate to include a period of time to avoid the costs, and take the general exemption from the way, is not bundled in the package. Management said: "Operators to offer to be able to decline"Fixed monthly rental fee reduction? We have not received the relevant notice, yesterday, Jiangsu Province, the communications authorities told reporters that the monthly rental fee adjustment possibility exists, but in the short term it is not possible to completely cancel.　　By the end of this year, the telecom industry in Jiangsu Province, including fixed-line, mobile phones, to achieve comprehensive tariff reduction of 9%. In fact, back in November 2009, Ministry of Industry and the National Development and Reform Commission issued a joint "on the adjustment of fixed local telephone service fee management mode of notice", proposed "fixed telephone monthly and local calls and PHS basic monthly fee and local call fee charges, from the current government pricing to implement the CAP management." Insiders believe that "this means that the rise in prices is not possible, as long as the enterprise proposal and approval, can be more flexible to cut tariffs."　　"But there are no provincial operators have offered to cancel the fixed-line monthly fee scheme." The stone of his mountain--fixed charges in foreign and local districts some developed countries, although also charge fixed-line or mobile phone base this month, but will give consumers very favorable compensation, such as free calls and other services. American At&t Company collects more than 20 dollars monthly fee per month, but consumers can enjoy "local call Free unlimited".　　And for less than the consumer, you can simply cancel or reduce the monthly rent fee, only charge "call fee".　　In the Hong Kong region of China, the fixed-line package also has a monthly fee, but it will contain the call fee.
