Three-network fusion pilot will be substantially launched

The dispute over the years of the three-network convergence is about to start substantially.　　Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that the year will determine the three-network integration pilot program, the 2010-2012 period of emphasis on radio and television and telecommunications business two-way into the pilot, 2013-2015, will be summed up to promote pilot experience, the full realization of the triple net integration. Three-net integration refers to the telecommunications network belonging to the Ministry of Industry and Information technology, the Internet and the radio and television network under the State administration of SARFT, the interoperability and intersection of business applications, and the sharing of network resources to the greatest extent. For ordinary consumers, three-net integration means that only need to pick up a line, pay a fee, you can call, surf the internet, watch TV, if you choose wireless access, home even do not need wiring. In addition, consumers will be able to move to watch video content anytime, at the same time the information access to improve the basic level, pay the cost can be significantly reduced.　　Industry figures, the three-net integration will not only save the country an annual savings of tens of billions of yuan of investment, ordinary residents each year can also save four hundred or five hundred yuan of information services expenditure. Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, director of communications Development Zhang Feng said that the triple-net integration, whether technical or equipment, already have the conditions. Three-network integration is the trend of modern information technology development, but also the urgent need of information, speeding up the integration of three networks is conducive to rapidly improve the level of national informatization.　　According to the request of the State Council executive meeting, the Ministry of Industry and Information technology has to determine the pilot scheme of triple net integration this year, and gradually choose the place where conditions are ripe to promote the integration work. In 1998, the concept of triple-net integration was first proposed in China, followed by the national "95" and "XV" plan, "Eleven-Five" planning, but because the interests of the two major industries are difficult to coordinate, the integration has been delayed substantive start. In the case of network TV (IPTV), the network channel and the content supervision right belong to two different competent bodies, so far, the large-scale commercial can not be realized. But from 2009 onwards, the three network fusion began to try two-way access, such as allowing the radio and television industry to enter the Internet, set up Chinese network television (CNTV).　　CNTV will bring together network television, IP TV, mobile TV, mobile media and other media terminals, to create multi-lingual channels, covering North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other nearly hundred countries and regions of the Internet users. Sadie Consultant Communications Industry Research Center analyst Liu that the triple-net integration has matured in the international, and formed a group of industry-wide chain giants, that is, telecom operators also have radio and television services, developed countries even in the three-network integration is trying to integrate with the grid. "If the triple-net convergence is not grasped and the integration is weak, domestic companies will be powerless to confront the impact of the global telecoms giants and communications giants speeding up into China's domestic market," he said. And now the beginning of the three-network integration in the country, will significantly enhance the international competitiveness of China's information industry, and have the opportunity to form one or two integration of the entire industry chain, with global influence of the Giants.　　"Liu said. According to estimates, the 2009 domestic internet, mobile interconnection, new media, mobile terminal market scale has been as high as400 billion yuan, the development potential after the triple net fusion will be very astonishing. In the short term, triple-net integration requires telecommunications and radio and television to increase investment in existing facilities, especially the cost of the transformation of radio and television systems may be up to hundreds of billions of dollars. But in the long run, triple-net convergence will inevitably reduce the duplication of investment in China's information industry. Liu predicts that this integration will bring about changes in the pattern of telecommunications and radio and television industries, and large-scale mergers and acquisitions are unavoidable.
