Adjustment sends a signal to the market, weakens supervision and promotes opening up.
Current practice is often challenged.
A senior researcher at the Institute of Telecommunications of the Ministry of Information Industry believes that it is the mainstream practice in the international telecommunications industry to divide telecommunications services into basic telecommunications services and value-added telecommunications services and manage them in China's current Telecommunications Regulations. However, since its emergence, it has been constantly challenged by the development of telecommunications technology, business and market, as well as regulatory practice. Although the Ministry of Information Industry adjusted and promulgated the Catalogue of Telecommunication Services in 2003, the division between basic services and value-added services has not changed.
Shu Huaying, a professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told this reporter that from a technical point of view, Internet IP telephony is a good example. Is making an international long-distance call through the Internet a basic telecommunication service or a value-added telecommunication service? This point has always been controversial, and it also makes a large number of such VoIP phones walk in the gray area. The consequence of unclear definition is that users' rights and interests cannot be guaranteed, and it also brings certain risks to enterprises operating this business.
Shu Huaying also said that with the gradual deepening of triple play, voice, data, fax and all value-added services can and are being transmitted indiscriminately. It can be predicted that if the classification of telecom services cannot keep pace with the times, there will be many policy gaps and countless "edge balls".
Virtual operator's "identity" will be clear at a glance.
In the future telecom market, the identity of operators is becoming more and more vague. At present, the division of basic services and value-added services in China is based on the position of services in telecom services, which will change. For example, some operators appear based on the identity of wholesale business relative to retail business, or on the identity of international business operators relative to domestic business operators, rather than on the identity of providing voice services relative to providing data services. This is "virtual operator". According to the existing business classification, is it a basic telecom operator or a value-added telecom operator? There is no conclusion at present.
Zhang of China Telecom Group Research Institute said that the classification of telecom services is particularly important in the opening of the telecom market. Because a telecom service is a basic service or a value-added service, its market access threshold is different. For example, China has imposed strict quantitative and capital restrictions on the basic telecommunications service market such as mobile communication. It can be predicted that if this division is removed, "virtual operator" with the participation of foreign capital and private capital will have a great living space.
Current department
Basic telecommunications services: all public and private telecommunications services. According to the region, it is divided into local telephone, long distance and international; According to the material carrier, it is divided into wired and wireless; According to whether the user is specific, it can be divided into public use and non-public use.
Value-added telecommunications services: Value-added services provided by service providers to users by increasing the form and content of information or by storing and retrieving user information.
Suggested division
Category I telecommunications services: services that provide telecommunications services to the public by using their own telecommunications transmission facilities, switching facilities and other auxiliary facilities, or services that rent telecommunications transmission facilities for others to use.
The second type of telecommunication business: the business of renting telecommunication transmission facilities to provide telecommunication services.
Planning wind direction
Send a signal of deregulation
The insiders further analyzed that this adjustment sent a signal to the market to weaken control and promote openness. From the perspective of foreign countries, it is not necessary to divide telecommunications services into basic services and value-added services, and it is not necessary to be consistent with the regulatory practices of any particular country. For example, some countries regard mobile phone, paging or data transmission as value-added services. In the liberalized telecommunications market, the difference between basic services and value-added services has become less and less important, unless it is related to the definition of public or universal service objectives.
The telecommunications laws of some countries and regions are also being revised in this way. For example, the Telecommunications Ordinance of Hong Kong does not clearly stipulate that telecommunications services should be divided into basic services and value-added services. But the telecom operators are divided into "operators" and "transmission service providers". The former operates basic network facilities, while the latter refers to telecom service providers without facilities. Some experts suggest that the Telecommunication Law being formulated in China should reclassify telecommunication services in a simplified way. Specifically, telecommunications services are divided into the first category and the second category (see the attached table for details). By implementing different management methods for these two types of operators, targeted telecommunications control is carried out. Therefore, the management system designed in the draft telecommunications law is considered from the perspective of the management subject, rather than the license management of each specific business.
The China Internet Conference just held shocked those of us who do educational websites, "Bai Yuntao, general manager of Beijing Hong Zhong Ye Zhi Co., Ltd. told reporters that the development direction of China Internet has been determined. In fact, we have been going in this direction for several years. "Bai Yuntao means that he and his company have hitched a ride since then and will no longer sail against the current.
China Internet Conference proposed that after the harsh baptism of "squeezing water" adjustment, Internet enterprises in China should effectively combine the network industry with traditional industries, improve their viability and take a rational, pragmatic and steady development path by launching new forms of online advertising, charging for information content and network services, providing short message service on mobile phones, and opening up the online entertainment market.
Wu Jichuan, Minister of Information Industry, hit the nail on the head and pointed out the current situation of Internet in China. He said that although the Internet market in 200 1 China has reached 7 billion yuan, the so-called "attention economy" and "eyeball economy" are lifeless. Websites must attach importance to applications instead of being keen on hype concepts, and must establish an effective profit model instead of focusing on listing.
Compared with the China portal website that burns money, the education website can be described as one step in place, and it is "flying against the wind" and growing strongly in the network tide. A recent survey shows that more than 70,000 ordinary middle schools in China have registered more than 600,000 online school students. Online learning has become a fashionable way of learning. As far as a single website is concerned, according to Yu Xiaofang, the network business manager of Beijing Hong Zhong Ye Zhi Co., Ltd., at present, Zhonghong.com has 80,000 registered users, with 300,000 daily visits and 6,543,800+downloads of the latest test papers in a week.
Also born in the internet bubble era, why are educational websites "unique in scenery"?
Different from the "attention economy" of portal websites, educational websites have created a new path to provide genuine educational products to China students. "Educational websites are the accumulation of the Internet bubble era. When the bubble blows, she may not get the brightest aura, but she has accumulated the foundation on which the network depends, that is, service and content. " Bai Yuntao's words tell the true position of China Education Website and Hong Zhong. The Senior High School Entrance Examination Network (www.zhnet.com.cn), located as "the largest information center for teaching and examination resources in China", has implemented this concept, closely focusing on middle school teaching and college entrance examination, and providing various resources, information and practical tools online for teachers, students, parents and teaching institutions.
From the development of foreign countries, the bursting of the network economy bubble and the sharp decline of venture capital forced many websites to adjust their survival strategies. Improving the quality of information content and charging for information content has become an important choice for many websites to survive. It is this choice that has created a fast-growing new market, namely the online content service market.
At present, there are two kinds of educational websites that have formed scale and entered commercial operation in China. One provides online distance education, the so-called "online school", and the other provides teaching and examination resources. Hong Zhong. Com and K 12 education network belong to the second category and are the two largest education websites in China at present. They have their own characteristics and are deeply loved and trusted by teachers and students.
"Hong Zhong. Com is an extension of traditional enterprises, not venture capital, with little initial investment. " Bai Yuntao said that despite this, Zhonghong.com burned money for half a year. Because there was no profit prospect, Zhihong Group, which was headquartered in Shandong at that time, almost gave up the Hong Zhong network project, but giving up meant a waste of existing teaching resources in Hong Zhong. Bai Yuntao believes that teaching resources are scarce resources and need professional foundation and long-term accumulation. When it comes to Zhihong's "optimal design", the education circle knows it like the back of its hand. If these professional resources are integrated and put on the Internet, there will be demand and fees can be charged. It is feasible to establish such a profit model. After nearly two years of operation, ZhongHong.com has become famous in the field of education in China, laying a solid user base for the next profit.
Hong Zhong. Com, which already owns the offline resource brand, is realizing the appropriate extension of online content. Hong Zhong. Com, K 12 and other well-known websites have raised the banner of content in succession, seeking the development of Internet in China. (People's Network-Market News)
