The report says China's broadband fee is 124 times times the operator of South Korea denies profiteering

A data may surprise you: The National Information Center Information Research department released a report that China's broadband tariff level equivalent to 124 times times South Korea! At the same time, it is difficult to satisfy the speed of the network. The news has sparked intense concern, and accusations of monopoly and profiteering by telecoms operators are rife. Where does the 124 times-fold argument come from?　　China's broadband tariffs are not high? The publisher said: "This number is not a problem" the current China's broadband tariffs for most of the domestic income level is obviously high.　　"The Chinese Information Society Development Report 2010", which was received by the Beijing Morning News reporter, shows that the tariff level of the main information products and services of our country is still high, which becomes the resistance of the rapid development of the information society. The report suggests that in 2008 China's broadband tariffs accounted for 7.4% of GDP per capita and ranked 71st in the 99 countries in the comparison. The 9th-place South Korean index is 1.15%.　　If coupled with the speed factor, then our country's Internet use cost is higher. "2008 China's mainland Internet access rate of about 1.8Mbps, far lower than Japan's 63Mbps, South Korea's 40Mbps, and Hong Kong's 20Mbps." 2008 the average monthly tariff of broadband users 83.8 yuan, equivalent to 46.66 yuan per month/mbps, is the South Korean broadband price of 18 times times, 51.5 times times the Japanese. If the income gap is taken into account, 2008 Korea's national income per capita is 6.9 times times that of China, which means that China's broadband tariff level is equal to 124 times times that of South Korea.　　"the report said. The journalist then contacted one of the authors of the report, "Of course science." We have taken into account a number of reasons, this figure is no problem.　　"The person said. But is the 2008-year data used in the reports of journalists too old?　　The source said that in some countries and regions in 2008, Internet access and tariffs were cited in the World Economic Forum's Global Information Technology report 2009-2010, which is the latest data on the comparison between international tariffs. The report argues that the current China's broadband tariffs for most of the domestic income level is obviously high.　　Shanghai recently promoted the 10 trillion broadband services for example, the monthly tariff of 259 yuan, the equivalent of Shanghai urban residents per capita disposable income of 11% and rural residents per capita net worth of 25%, accounting for the national Urban Disposable income of 18% and farmers per capita net earnings of 60%. Experts said: "The algorithm is unreasonable" China's broadband is expensive, but not more than a hundredfold. To do absolute value comparison, our country is Korea's 10 times times. "In shocking, there is no shortage of brick-making." "According to the trillion calculate the tariff, to prove that our netizens are living in dire straits, it is ridiculous."　　"An operator who is aggrieved in the forum. Yang Peifang, a well-known communications expert, told reporters that the algorithm was unreasonable. "China's broadband is expensive, but not too expensive." "he saidThis algorithm acute the broadband tariff problem, and the solution is not harmonious.　　In his view, a more rational approach should be done in absolute terms, which is about 10 times times the size of South Korea.　　The reporter learned that the Liu Liwen recently wrote a paper on the issue of the answer to obtain more recognition. According to the international Comparative study on the tariff level of telecommunication service, this paper points out that there are three ways to compare international tariffs: first, the actual tariff level is compared, also known as absolute value comparison. Direct and clear, but because the different countries population, economy, consumption level difference does not reflect the real difference; second, actual tariff/per capita GDP (GNI) comparison, but China per capita GNI is low, namely the denominator is small, this ratio is high. Each country's economic development stage is different, the political and cultural backgrounds are different, there are many factors that cannot be compared, and the third is the so-called purchasing power evaluation method, which takes into account the actual purchasing power of different currencies. The results of these three approaches are far from being found.　　For example, the above mentioned article three methods, China's broadband tariffs are 1.9 times times, 14 times times, 2.4 times times. Operators said: A lot cheaper than Europe and the United States at present broadband profit margins of about 10%, is definitely not, not to mention profiteering. "In the face of the high cost of broadband accusations, operators are always used to silence."　　There is no positive response to the 124 times-fold view. "Domestic broadband tariffs are not too expensive to ADSL, for example, now the average monthly fee of about 70 yuan." "An insider in China Telecom complained to reporters that South Korea's broadband rate is the fastest in the world, if China is compared with many developing countries, whether it is tariffs or rate can be, compared to Europe and the United States and other developed countries, the net fee is much cheaper."　　Of course, this can not be used in Beijing, Shanghai, these high tariffs of the region to compare. One person from Beijing Unicom also said it was currently pushing down broadband prices through packages.　　However, the 512K unlimited monthly fee is still hovering at a high of 120 yuan. In fact, for the network fee is high, operators are the most explained that the cost is high. People familiar with the broadband told reporters that in fact, the cost of building the network around the world almost. "In the case of equal cost, it is meaningful to have a higher than absolute price." And you take the national income matter, can only prove that Chinese people's income is too low.　　"said one operator. Of course, he admits, China's broadband tariffs are not falling fast, only 10 yuan in the past decade. However, in the face of monopoly and profiteering accusations, he said, "the current broadband profit margin of 10% or so, is definitely not a Gregory, not to mention profiteering." "Morning paper reporter Giolikun reporter notes broadband to thirty or forty most popular" Although the 2008 statistics, but still have a certain representativeness. Since 2006 began to surf the internet to now 5 years, more than 1000 yuan in the annual price has not changed, but can obviously feel the current speed is more and more slow.　　A consumer in Beijing complains. Broadband fees are even dubbed "low service, high fees" representative. In aLess than 1% of the random surveys conducted by the Web site suggest that current broadband fees are appropriate. Even some netizens pointed out that the domestic broadband cost is the main reason for the pricing mechanism, what is the cost of what content? How is it calculated? These are opaque.　　The right to speak has been mastered by operators, causing netizens to be "hurt and helpless". It is understood that the current broadband pricing principle is the market pricing, the Ministry of Industry to implement the ceiling control. In Yang Peifang's view, the current domestic broadband tariff is indeed high, but the progress of the past few years is obvious to all. At present, China's broadband operators have China Telecom, China Unicom and the Chinese railcom, plus radio and television operators, has formed a four competition pattern. Much better than many other monopolistic industries. Yang Peifang points out that the total number of communications services increased by 21% in 2009, and that the operator's revenue was only 5%. From the simple comparison of these two data can be seen, telecommunications tariffs in a benign price reduction. "Of course, broadband tariffs are relatively small, should be more calls for lower prices."　　"Yang Peifang said. is in full swing of the triple-net integration can lay down the broadband fee? Yang Peifang that this provides an opportunity, after all, a strong competitor. He thinks, the broadband fee drops to thirty or forty yuan per month most popular.
