China will continue to improve its policies
and beef up support to speed up commercial use of the 5G network, an
official with the country's top industry regulator said on Tuesday.
Wen Ku, a spokesman for the Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology, said the ministry will continue to support
the development of the super-fast fifth-generation wireless technology by
telecom carriers and encourage local authorities to come up with more support
policies.
Chen Zhaoxiong, vice-minister of Industry and
Technology, said that the development of the 5G network could give rise to
massive opportunities in industrial growth and job creation. The ministry will
make continuous efforts to promote the use of 1000Mb broadband connections and
expand the coverage of fiber-optical broadband services, he said. Meanwhile, the
ministry will upgrade telecom networks and operation systems by the end of
November to ensure that mobile phone users nationwide can switch service
carriers without changing phone numbers, he said. He explained that it could
require substantial (大量的) efforts as it involved
the upgrading of operation systems of a total of 1.6 billion users in the
country.
In the meantime, a "floor-price"
will be set for low-income and elderly populations to further promote mobile
networks, he said. In order to better protect the rights of consumers, the
number of service packages offered by the telecom carriers will be trimmed(削减)by more than 15 percent this year, according to Wen. Carriers are
also required to make public all their service packages and make them all
available for the users, he added. "We will step up investigations on
wrongdoings so that consumers can see their telecom bill plain and clear,"
he said.
China has expanded the download speed of
mobile broadband sixfold compared with five years ago, while the charges for
broadband connections and mobile Internet were down by 90 percent, according to
the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
China's digital economy reached a total volume
of 31 trillion yuan ($4.5 trillion), or 34.8 percent of its GDP, in 2018,
according to the ministry.
