This year, pilot 4G Internet access fees will drop

Beijing, March 4 (Reporting correspondent Yang Fan Liu Hongjie) Mobile phone calls and Internet access fees can no longer fall? On the 4th, Wang Jianzhou, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of China Mobile, gave a positive answer. Wang Jianzhou disclosed that this year, Mobile will conduct 4G pilot work in 9 cities. The speed of Internet access will be 10 to 20 times faster, and tariffs “can only fall.”

In terms of mobile roaming charges, Wang Jianzhou said that in the past two years, China Mobile has focused on reducing international roaming tariffs. “Our goal is to reach 1 yuan per minute. At present, China’s mobile users have roaming fees in more than 30% of the world’s countries. In less than a dollar."

In terms of data communication costs, Wang Jianzhou stated that in order to reduce costs, on the one hand, it uses wifi to divert traffic, and the other is to promote high-efficiency, high-capacity 4G communication systems.

"In terms of 4G, we are conducting scale tests in 9 cities this year. Among them, Hangzhou and Shenzhen hope to cover some of the major parts of the city. This year, they can be used to lay the foundation for large-scale promotion next year. The mobile phone is under development. Through wifi mobile nodes, ipad tablet computers, or data-based."

Wang Jianzhou said that the pilot is mainly to upgrade the existing 3G to 4G, then the Internet speed will be 10 to 20 times faster, and the tariff will be reduced for each bit of traffic.

China Mobile plans to launch TD-LTE trials in China next year, but now it will further expand the scope of scale experiments from six cities to nine cities, adding Beijing, Tianjin and Qingdao.
