Liu Xingliang yesterday in Beijing to do a live program, chatting is the world's Internet speed ranked Japan and South Korea leading China's bitter force topic. The topic is based on a German statistics company published 2013 in the first quarter of the global Internet speed rankings data, South Korea with an average of 17.2M bits per second of the network continued to rank the world's first, in addition to the second to 10th country is Japan ranked second, is 11.7M bits per second. Then Hong Kong is 10.9 trillion bits per second, then Switzerland, then the Netherlands, Latvia and the Czech Republic, and the last three are Sweden, the United States and Denmark. China's average speed is only 1.7 megabits per second, and is down 5.6% from the same period last year, This and the first 17.2M bit per second Korea and the second Japanese 11.7M bits per second is nearly 10 times times the difference, the global ranking of our China's speed is in 98th place, far behind the global 3.1 trillion bits per second average speed. In the Asia-Pacific region, China is also lagging behind the ranking of countries, compared with the top South Korea and Japan will no longer mention, unexpectedly also lags behind Thailand and Malaysia. Japan and South Korea lead the reason to look at others Japan and South Korea's leading, and then look at our concrete reality, the heart can not help but wow cool. Awkward at the same time, but also to find the cause of the gap, Japan and South Korea leading reasons may be as follows: One is the small area of Japan and South Korea, high population density, network laying scale benefits outstanding; second, the country attaches great importance to, as early as the last century, attaches great importance to the rolling release strategy; third, deregulation, encourage investment Suppress the basic operators, discourage investment enthusiasm, four is the high level of economic. The problem of our country 1. In the Internet users actually get the speed, in front of netizens real user experience, any theory and rhetoric are pale, the reality needs to look directly. 2. The question of monopolies. Operators are so three, and are state-owned enterprises, specific to the user's community, may choose or even unique. Coupled with layers of subcontracting system, the low-level agents of deception, so that users miserable. One of the reasons for South Korea's leadership is full competition. 3. There is also a big problem with broadband is the regional and urban divide, broadband is different from the telephone, its popularity and literacy, Internet skills, terminal prices, suitable agricultural applications such as highly correlated. In addition, the harsh natural geographical conditions also increased the provision of costs, the need to stimulate investment network. In addition, the network construction (including base station siting) and so on also faced barriers to entry, interconnection needs to be upgraded, market concentration situation has yet to be open to promote improvement. 4. The worldwide bandwidth level is rapidly rising, the so-called broadband bandwidth level in the domestic only about one-tenth of the other major countries, and the average access rate is lower than the global average level, a large part of China's broadband is actually a narrow band in the broadband era. 5. Broadband access to the Internet infrastructure is the information society, the message age of the highway, is China's economic and social smooth development of the blood, not to be blocked to the shame of blocking as a basis, with video-entertainment-electric business and other heavy application of rapid development, broadband network urgently needs to upgrade. 6. Operators to do,Not by themselves as the center to improve their own revenue level, but should take the national economy development as the center, comprehensively promote the social communication efficiency, information development efficiency, reduce the enterprises, individuals, households spent on the information highway time and cost. 7. In the past, China's investment in optical fiber, basic network construction has been huge and idle, a large number of telecommunications resources in fact in a precipitate state, and operators in the Access service at this end and users in the telecommunications tariff high users do not dare to use more than the telecom investment recovery is not willing to reduce the vicious After nearly 20 years of development, the Internet is no longer an industry category, has become a big engine of the livelihood of the economy, is the engine of efficiency, but also the engine of innovation. And broadband, has become similar to the infrastructure, such as hydro-gas, when, broadband for us, like hydro-gas for us, we do not need to tangle in price problems, stability problems, speed problems, the information society will really come.
