The virtual operators benefit a lot after the cancellation of telecom fee approval dispute

According to the recent announcement of the State Council decision on the cancellation and decentralization of a group of administrative approval projects, involving the telecommunications industry two major approvals, especially the telecommunications business fees and charges will be cancelled, and now comes the beginning of the operation of virtual operators, the industry is not expected to involve not only three major operators, The virtual operators will also be in the cancellation of the approval of the list, which will be conducive to private enterprises based on the virtual operators to use tariff price means to carry out business. The Telecommunication Service tariff standard no longer needs to examine and approve the State Council's decision on canceling and delegating a group of administrative examination and approval items announced, decided to cancel and devolve 64 administrative approval items and 18 items, among which the approval of the telecom business charges is the most concerned. Telecom service charges have been the subject of control, and not only the Ministry of Industry, the early stage is the national Development and Reform Commission and its predecessor State planning joint management. In the early years, the State Planning Commission, the original Ministry of Information industry has issued the "Telecommunications fee approval and registration procedures (for trial)" notice "(Price (2002)1489 number, and promote a one-way fee, the international roaming fee decline, such as a series of tariff reform." However, the telecommunications business charges are too complex, 2007, when the Ministry of Information industry to promote the transparency of telecommunications charges, led the operator to clean up tariffs, by the end of July, the national tariff package clean up the number of more than 40,000, the number of packages dropped more than 80%. This shows that at that time, the number of telecom carrier packages more than 50,000. So many packages. If one item is reported to the Ministry of Communications or the local telecommunications authority for approval or filing, it is not possible to actually perform these procedures. And, in the current competitive situation, operators are also unlikely to send each of the major tariff packages to the Ministry of Industry or the communications authority around the approval or filing, one is because this process to go down to a certain time, easy to delay market opportunities; second, if involved in corporate secrets, report to the Ministry or the communications authority for the approval or record, It's hard to say if it's going to leak out, because the three major operators and the Ministry of Communications, the telecommunications authority in the history of too deep, the industry practitioners do not say that there may have been a subordinate or a colleague relationship between the husband and wife, brothers and sisters of this kinship are not a few, whether the leakage of some of the reported situation is difficult to tell. Therefore, in fact, the three major operators are currently not the same strict implementation of the telecommunications fee approval procedures, the Ministry of Communications and the Department of Communication authority are mostly open one eye closed. This kind of telecommunications fee approval is in fact long overdue to terminate. Telecom fee approval pros and cons in the industry is also widely believed that the telecommunications industry is one of the relatively full domestic competition, most of the competition has been market-oriented, there is no need for the charges to be approved. Moreover, the national ministries to regulate the telecommunications tariffs have both advantages and disadvantages, it is because of the national ministries of the promotion, mobile phone long-distance, domestic roaming, one-way charges, international roaming and other tariffs have fallen. According to the Ministry of Industry statistics over the past 5 years, China's telecommunications tariffs have been in a period of continuous sharp decline, from 2008 to 2011, Telecom ComprehensiveThe decline of the price level was 8%, 9.5%, 9.3% and 4.2%, respectively. Only 2012 years ago the comprehensive price level of telecom industry fell by only 1.9%. For the cancellation of telecommunications fees and approvals, it is reported that the Ministry of Industry, said that the cancellation of telecommunications business fees and approvals, telecommunications charges involving thousands of households, mainly consider through market competition to further promote the decline in the level of telecom service tariffs. Obviously, the original intention is good. However, in the past, the regulation of telecommunications tariffs has also caused great controversy, that is, when the tube is not, should not be tube. For example, more than 10 years ago, the state regulations Unicom mobile phone charges can be lower than China Mobile phone charges 10%, but the result is China Mobile's big price war, the actual mobile phone charges far lower than unicom, the result of the basic price of all over the land, which is responsible for the department's mobile phone price supervision function of In 2012, for example, Zhejiang Unicom launched a 2G network of random dozen packages, welcomed by users, but the Zhejiang Provincial Communications administration of a paper to stop the document so that the telecommunications tariff supervision has become the focus of attention. Zhejiang Communication Administration Bureau at that time issued a letter to Zhejiang Unicom, put forward two requirements: first, immediately stop playing the relevant publicity and marketing; the second is to request the Zhejiang Unicom to report the number of users before April 6. However, the regulation immediately caused great controversy, supporting the Zhejiang Provincial Communications Administration of the people, on the network outside the differential pricing problem 2004 years of Mii has been the following norms, that Zhejiang Unicom is playing the edge of the situation. Opponents think, in the face of operators to set tariffs, if the user did not complain and get benefits, why should supervision it? At that time, some industry insiders believe that such regulation may help one operator to suppress another operator, the starting point is not related to consumers, as Yi Yingtao, general manager of Zhejiang Unicom, when asked how to face the regulation said: "The friend of the V net can stop?" Can we stop the others? In favor of the virtual operator price war This policy is also considered to be related to the upcoming debut of virtual operators. Prior to January 29, the Ministry of Industry announced the second batch of virtual operator license to the list of enterprises, so far, 19 enterprises have been licensed, it is widely believed that in the case of competition with the three operators, these virtual operators more will use price means to cut. Therefore, the cancellation of telecommunications charges coincides with the timing, as the virtual operators are private enterprises, so the virtual operators to fight the price of the degree should be more, the cancellation of telecommunications fees and charges will be the virtual operator price competition means to relax the scale. However, the industry is also worried that the current domestic telecommunications industry has been excessive competition, mobile phone tariffs have not been reduced space, for example, according to the Ministry of Statistics, in the past are the telecommunications tariff price reduction, and by 2012 to a halt, making the 2012 telecom price war is the most peaceful year. This year operators to disclose the first half of the price range, but the general feeling of decline is not large. Industry early analysis that this is mainly mobile phone charges have been very low, there is not much room to drop. Today, mobile phone local calls, long-distance, domestic roaming fees, international roamingFees are declining for years, one-way fees, long-distance roaming fees and other reform measures to make the domestic telecommunications price level has been greatly reduced, and a drop again, and then drop the words can only be given free. Therefore, the cancellation of telecommunications charges does not mean that the mobile phone and other tariffs unrestricted decline, after all, these are controlled by the hands of the market, the world can not have a free lunch.
