Major telecom companies in the mobile Internet communication tool “collective failure”, such an assertion, perhaps on the operator’s mobile IM strategies and product planners are not fair. To be fair to say that world and talking to friends, flying wing that, the product itself has not done well, and the idea is very open, particularly decision their Internet communications business, together with rival eat into the share of basic telecommunications services, in the case of the three carriers, out of this step requires considerable courage.

Telecom operators see the challenge, taking action, with an open product ideas, made is good product (LMT Woo, wing, flying, the talk talk), why it is also said that they should talk to micro-credit, rice “collective failure”?

This is because:

　　One mistake: not from business strategy to address, but from the perspective of simple machinery.

Talk to micro-credit, rice to eat into the underlying telecommunications services, telecom operators how to deal with? Same product was also launched to meet yet? This way of thinking is straightforward, but too simple machines.

Say, is not to say that telecommunications operators should not launch Chat worth talking to friends, flight, wing, but think that carriers should make the analysis of micro-credit, rice talk business model, not just stuck in the analysis of micro-credit, rice talk, KIK on product features, follow up on each other’s products.

This kind of imitation, was tantamount to see their opponents hold a stick, you have to pick up a stick.

More frightening is that you pick up the stick, not crack down on opponents, was hit in his body–shunt Telecom business, do not themselves physically punish?

Is not to say that telecoms cannot be imitated products of micro-credit, rice talk to these guys, but disagree with simple mechanical product imitation, but rather should directly talk to micro-credit, rice’s business model strategies.

Micro-credit, rice talk business model, business model, what do we mean? Is SNS.

Recognizing the business model of micro-m chat, telecommunication operator’s strategic objective would be good for mobile IM sure. Is from the standpoint of SNS services acting in micro-letter m chat, rather than with your own IM products to hand-to-hand combat tactics.

SNS services for telecom operators, is one of the most advantages: a flood of users; users between Unicom and for payment and payment channels; user has a lot of SNS in telecommunication services using the record business needs mining large amounts of data, such as records of calls, roaming, LBS information; have users use business credit information, and so on, which can be good basis for developing SNS business. If not with carrier Enterprise now base operations and value-added business SNS business user base, but rather to “worth” as a basis for development of SNS business, are no doubt to avoid detours, even backwards.

If you determine that the ultimate is to acting micro-letter, m chat SNS strategy, rather than acting in mobile IM products itself, telecom operators are not to their telecommunications services through the medium, the SNS service, but rather to a new product (mobile IM) to SNS service, it is almost a step backward, is a mistake.

　　Second mistake: the bonds of relationship with the user confusion.

In fact, in the issues addressed above, that there is a serious business logic problem: what is the link between telecommunications operators and users? Previous telecommunications between users and operators of Telecom business sales relationship is a simple, your network use of telecommunications services is the “user”, off-grid, is not this user, and full telecom service-centric, and too self-. Potentially significant risk is that users do not use telecommunication services, and telecommunications enterprises do not have any relationship. In case of Internet revolution in the field of communication, bringing more and more telecommunication services instead of products, some users are no longer using telecommunications services, these users and telecommunications enterprises do not have any relationship.

Telecommunications companies, this is terrible!

How can I avoid repeat paging business of the year gone, users disappear, companies disappearing story?

Why not into music business users, those users online shopping user, movie business users? Even if they don’t use telecommunications services, as well as other business users is the ability to create value–this is the charm of the SNS business.

To wanted to to Internet business transformation, Telecom enterprise on should considered adjustment user in telecom service in the of “identity” (ID) problem, to can do desalination Telecom business (number) for Center of user recognition way, best is using user real identity to recognition user, this identity above, can added arbitrary business relationship, and Telecom business, just future telecom operators to user provides of many business one. If telecom operators really can such adjustment on user of recognition way, and and of phase adapt to will various business (do not want to called value-added business, because if do have enough good, some business will powerful to ad the telecom business, mention Telecom Foundation business of atrophy is appointees) integration in user of identity zhixia, this will is adapt Internet, especially moved Internet era of important adjustment, this also will is once concept of changes, will will is a significance major of things.

Let us imagine hundreds of millions of real information, reach very high contact, payment channel users into Internet SNS service users, will be how valuable it is! If transformation succeeds, Internet business has bright prospects, telecom operators no longer have to bundle of telecommunications services on a hemp rope!

How to identify and determine relationships between the user, you can learn from Internet companies, obviously stick to users is that will never change, particularly because the user does not use a business change.

To sum up: the need for uniformity of users to identify, integrate business resources, meeting the challenges of Internet companies of the time, came out a mobile IM, there has been a new set of user identification, a development system user, business development a lot of mobile IM users, glad tidings keep pouring in, but this is not a strategic success, indeed of little significance. This is the second of carrier mobile IM ill advised: mobile IM users identity confusion, is not really the face of clear and compelling product strategy of Internet business.

　　Those three: meet the challenge of the Internet, not really put the Group on the strategic level hands-on

In 2011, the human communication special network era officially began by entering a genuine public network era. PLMN,PSTN referred to in public networks, in fact, or just individual operators building their own networks, but the popularity of mobile Internet, truly human communication into the public network age – the Internet communication era.

The alternative speed perhaps there had been no mobile phone replacement pages so fast. Because, after all, the alternative is using alternative ways and channels, features no revolutionary change, rather than mobile paging function revolution of that year. But telecom carriers must be recognized that after this year, operators basic telecom service revenue (including mobile communications revenue) growth is difficult, perhaps even entered a period of contraction.

Transformation of the telecom operator, very tight. Transformation is the focus of user: in the case of Telecom business shrink, mining user value. Transformation platform: must be one of the Internet, or make use of the Internet as a tool for developing traditional business, such as Internet sales of tickets for concerts, football matches, and so on.

However, we can see, talk to our friends and the flying, wing talk, are only three operators data products at the business level, the responsible departments are still just data business units, and to take countermeasures of too tactical levels. From this point of view, the failure of one or two earlier, is some strong data services sector hard, because of their in-house SideShow status, there is no capacity to take action on the strategic level.

Telecom operators have to face the urgent challenge of mobile Internet, if the current “value added business unit” and practitioners, and business income cannot be more than basic telecommunication business unit within a few years, that is the underlying prospects for telecommunications companies will be very scary (of course, not as paging businesses so sad).

Tencent does not depend on user communication (TEXT\VIOCE\VIDEO) to get income, Tencent’s revenue from all communications services provided to large user groups outside of value-added services. Reference its personnel structure and income structure, we can think about the future of telecommunications operators.

Since transformation of focus is mining user of value, since user relationship and main control in Foundation Telecom business sector hands, since Telecom enterprise transformation will full embrace Internet, since current Telecom enterprise of data business sector fundamental cannot station in telecom operators-oriented Internet enterprise transformation of strategy height above thinking and operation, so, all telecom operators on should in group strategy of height, again schema-oriented Internet enterprise transformation of business system, Cannot only rely heavily on data services and new business sectors to face the challenges of the Internet.

On the communications industry are concerned, it’s a big time. Nobody has ever experienced, no one knows exact look like in the future, but we feel there will be a radical change in the future.

In this change Eve, everyone else felt to move on. Person and enterprises will inevitably be taking the wrong steps one of two possible, but to move on is the most important, wrong you can also adjust, not forward, will just have to be eliminated. I respect the operators of these enterprises and Tencent, millet efforts forward. I just ratione materiae to explore, strategies of analysis of telecom operators. Of course, explore some of the force to do, after all, in the large telecom operators to do something is not so simple. Of course, as a business, how can I talk to quite a number of micro-credit, rice development and growth of thinking, maybe sometime will speak up and share with you.

Or irregularity, hope will forgive me! Also look forward to the Exchange.

Xinhuanet, Beijing, November 11 (reporters Liu Ju and)-Chinese anti-monopoly law after the sword of Damocles hanging in silence for three years, unexpectedly falls to China Telecom and China Unicom on its head. National development and Reform Commission, antitrust and price supervision and Inspection Bureau Deputy Director Li Qing 9th CCTV “News 30″ accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV said after the Council received a report in the first half of this year, as soon as China Telecom, China Unicom, arrested for investigating price fixing case.

Key features of the survey is, China Telecom, China Unicom broadband access and internetwork settlement area is the use of their own has a dominant market position to hinder or interfere with other acts such as operators entering the market.

Qing Li, China Telecom, whose Internet access revenue about 50 billion a year, about 30 billion a year for China Unicom. “If after a case trial, facts established qualitative accurate, probably in the 1% fine-then punishment range. ”

News came out, shocked the industry, lively public opinion. There was a loud applause, which is the “Gospel in the world of the Internet”. Some say it is a carefully planned conspiracy, is under the system of departmental interests competing for “farce”.

After extensive interviews with Xinhua, in a bid to pure technology to restore the essence of this event for readers.

A is still in progress in the antitrust investigation

According to the information held by a Xinhua reporter, in late April this year, national development and Reform Commission price supervision and Inspection Department (later renamed the price and Antimonopoly Council of supervision and inspection) to China Telecom and China Unicom has issued a notice of investigation. In June, the preliminary findings inform the development and Reform Commission: dominance has identified the two companies in the relevant market, acts of alleged abuse of a dominant market position, and is intended as wired broadband access 1% per cent of overall income to fine. Each of the two companies subsequently submitted his defense of feedback submissions.

On October 17, the development and Reform Commission relating to seek the views of State Council Legislative Affairs Office, the Supreme People’s Court and the Ministry. The meeting, the parties divided larger, more concentrated view is that it is an event, in the case of evidence is not sufficient, need to be cautious. Development and Reform Commission said at the meeting, will be on the programme in consultation with the National Capital Commission and relevant ministries such as Ministry of comments submitted to the State Council.

At noon on November 9, prior to the development and Reform Commission, did not seek the views of relevant departments and enterprises, Li Qing by CCTV reveal antitrust investigation.

It is understood that the entire investigation process is kept strictly confidential, relevant staff or even requires signature confirmation on the conversations recorded, “just as police ask do. “As a result, reports came out, surprised at relevant ministries in addition to, a little embarrassed. And overseas-listed China Telecom and China Unicom share price experienced a dramatic slump and a series of strange changes, the current international capital markets cannot be ruled out sharks smell blood and killing to the possibility of.

According to China’s antitrust law 44th came into effect in 2008, “antitrust law enforcement agencies for investigation into alleged monopolistic behavior verification, opinion constitutes a monopoly, it shall make decisions, and to the public. ”

In response, the China Consumer Association legal adviser Qiu Baochang believes that development and Reform Commission, in the findings is not that case, posted on the powerful in the country’s media practice in this matter “less serious”, were arrested for breach of the relevant provisions of the antitrust laws. “Monopoly and to speak with facts and evidence. In the absence of that enterprise monopoly until the official conclusion, should not be published, or unfair to the enterprise, impact on society is difficult to reverse. Only in both entities and procedures for legal compliance, realistic, enterprises can complain, the State had the credibility. ”

Nothing to do with ordinary consumers “immortals battle”

The development and Reform Commission antitrust investigation is targeted to Internet service provider (ISP) dedicated line access market monopoly. In other words, no matter how the development and Reform Commission antitrust investigation eventually concluded, has no connection with broadband prices of ordinary users.

However “the telecommunication monopoly” with the words still resonate with greatly raised the public.

Development and Reform Commission, believes that has been largely identified the two companies on the Internet access market occupies a total of two-thirds per cent of market share, certainly has a dominant position, the two companies a dominant market position of the competitors on the a premium price, suspected price discrimination exists. If established, it may be punishable by fines of up to billions of dollars.

In response, the people newspaper Chief Editor of posts and telecommunications Wu Suoning: “cable broadband market share of more than two-thirds alleged monopoly, such a discussion makes no sense, because the world telecommunications industry, are the structures, Japan NTT 80%, United Kingdom high, United States is no exception, which is determined by the access networks of the mass production of nature itself. ”

Wu Suoning said, because the line laying costly, coupled with full coverage, double backup, various circuits such as multi-line maintenance measures, as well as the commitment to universal service, and international are settled between cable operators and other factors, broadband network is bound to need to focus on a few, qualified for major companies in the hands of the powerful.

According to reports, the wired broadband access market and ISP access market is two different relevant markets, ISP access market is part of the cable broadband access market is very small. Wired broadband access market has a certain superiority does not mean that ISP access also has the advantage of position in the market. In fact our ISP access market competition, especially between China Telecom and China Unicom, any ISP could not be controlled access to the relevant market price. In addition to the base outside the telecom operator, there are more than 700 more than legitimate ISP can provide bandwidth, illegal broadband service providers are a minority.

“Will not speak violations haven’t found that even if violations to 1% fine, should also be to ISP dedicated line access as the base, rather than the entire cable broadband revenue of tens of billions of dollars as the base. Fine now reports have said hundreds of millions of billions of per cent, this sensational confusing concept, right? “The well-known Professor of Beijing University who declined to be named said.

On the development and Reform Commission to request the correction of ISP “price difference”, also had very strong differences of opinion within the industry.

“ISP line broadband access products, services and competition situation of different, then the price will differ. Such as domestic and international access prices, penetration and static access prices will certainly be different. And regional factors, trading conditions are different for each customer, of course, the price will be different. If you do not take into account different products, services and markets, direct price controls because the price difference is, it’s not that Government pricing? That is the real monopoly. ISP dedicated line access price if not in accordance with the market pricing mechanism, market-distorting the allocation of resources, affecting all aspects of the Internet industry chain, is not conducive to innovation and the long-term development of China’s Internet industry. “The professor said.

No registration of identity cards, a variety of “beautiful,” take your pick, buying the card also comes with “fictitious name” sth On the occasion of the first year of implementation of prepaid mobile phone policy, reporters visited several streets in Shanghai found that to buy a phone card that does not require real name really is not too difficult. Industry insiders said, operator means, will take place in order to compete for a new user, agent for business for various selling methods, fierce market competition led to prepaid mobile phone “in name only”.

Money can buy “beautiful”

Reporters found in North Sichuan Road, Wuchang, a small shop near the road, and a variety of “lucky number”, “beautiful,” hung in front of the counter, there are many “$ 0″ promotions. Shop owner warmly greeting: “going mobile card? Mobile, China Unicom has! “This boss says his SIM card sold very quickly, can buy it now or choose a good number. When the reporter asks do you want real-name registration, wrinkle boss frown and said, “this up to you, would like to use, do not do. However, to people who I come here to buy cards, is a convenient, haven’t made real-name registration yet. ”

This reporter went to YuYuan road to a point of sale, a female boss told reporters that the face value of $ 50 cards can be sold by the $ 45, $ 95 in $ 100 denomination sell it, buy it can also be more favorable. “No identity card could do, just write down the name and ID number on it. “When a reporter asked about leaving the social security number and your name will not disclose personal information, to say she’s shuangqi, leaving no will do, we’ll help you get. She also told reporters that “I have a ‘ channel ‘ directly, I’ll give you something. As long as the money, not what number is not available. ”

Changning road a kiosk of the staff member told reporters that while the State provided, newsstand, sold to real-name registration to the user, but in practice, but no one auditing the authenticity of such information. “The fact that we couldn’t force to view a user’s ID, if users really don’t want to fill in, we can only Dodge. ”

　New cards come with virtual names

In addition to offline sale points for prepaid mobile phone “indifferent”, the online sale of all types of card number more “outrageous”. Reporters in Taobao search for “phone number”, hundreds of stores operating in Shanghai alone for this project. Shop dispensers, Lu told reporters that the real-name registration by personal choice, and need, I scanned ID cards issued in the past, but most users do not need. “After we had a card other than recycling, is not registered with the name of a person of many cards for, these are new cards, which automatically generates the virtual names and identity card number, so do not worry about receiving spam text messages and all kinds of harassment. ”

Shopkeeper “gods are lazy” also told reporters that the operators will often take anonymous means in order to compete for a new user will be required by the underwriters and distributors in the hope that they do user information registration.

In fact, the final registration results for distributors, operators will not seriously tested. “The more the better” is their most important marketing goals.

No prepaid card number where did it come from?

In an interview, the reporter found without registered purchase card number phenomena emerge, then channels these numbers come from? This reporter interviewed mobile, China Unicom and Telecom Business Hall. In these places, purchase card number must have ID cards.

An operator told reporters an internal staff, without the real-name registration number, is still quietly from the operators into the market. “Are sometimes made of an identity card to register more than one number, then take out the selling; some cards the master name column is directly replaced by pseudonyms. ”

Well-known Telecom experts, flying elephant network CEO Xiang Ligang believes that main sticking points focused on operators who currently prepaid mobile phone. Motivated by economic interests, given the competitive pressures and market, operators between the real-name system, the choice is difficult. “Operators have asked the employees ‘ exclusive ‘ number. In the past, real name had not yet been implemented, not to be registered sold number is widespread, roadside grocery store also became ‘ underwriting ‘ one of the channels. After the real-name system, which became a real-name system, the ‘ vulnerabilities ‘. Operators now seem to have free rein. “Xiang Ligang said that in addition to operator self discipline, the relevant government departments should also strengthen supervision on carriers, managed from the source.

/IT times

“The m-zone to a $ 50 prepaid card. “” Sold out, not yet arrived. “Recently, the Dragon came to Miss horse rings near a newspaper kiosk at the station when buying a prepaid card, there’s been such an answer, and this answer, she repeat heard since three times a week. In wide Canal door, and chongwen door, and people University and madianbridge near, Dragon Miss total asks has 15 home sold moved recharge card of newspaper Pavilion, has 9 home newspaper Pavilion said “50 Yuan of recharge card, stock”, was strange of is, this 15 home newspaper Pavilion for 50 Yuan denomination recharge card of price also General inconsistent, 8 home sold 50 Yuan, 7 home sold 51 Yuan, and price for 51 Yuan of newspaper Pavilion in the, 6 home said “stock”.

Roadside charging, user map is a convenient, but now, price, stock, could it be that business had too much fire?

Denominations available single deficiency “$ 50″

$ 10, $ 20 prepaid card gradually withdrawing, “$ 50 prepaid card but never out of stock, but now for days no shadow, what’s going on? “Miss Dragon said.

In chongwen door East Street 6th, downstairs of a home newspaper Pavilion, boss describes has 5 species denomination moved recharge card of purchase price, 10 Yuan denomination of price for 13 Yuan, purchase price for 12.2 Yuan, profit for 0.8 Yuan; 20 Yuan denomination of price for 22 Yuan, purchase price for 21.2 Yuan, profit for 0.8 Yuan; 30 Yuan denomination of price for 31 Yuan, purchase price for 29.1 Yuan, profit for 1.9 Yuan; 100 Yuan denomination of price for 100 Yuan, purchase price for 98.7 Yuan, profit for 1.3 Yuan.

And $ 50 denominations before price prepaid card sold for $ 50, stock price is $ 49.1, profits at $ 0.9, price after the price increases to $ 51, stock price is $ 49.9, profits to 1.1 million. Before the price increase, selling $ 50 prepaid card profitable less than $ 1.

Many shopkeepers say $ 50 prepaid card has always been the best selling, because of the purchase amount is larger, purchase prices are relatively low, small profits but quick turnover. You can now purchase prices rose, price will naturally rise. But many users accept price increases, would rather buy a prepaid card for $ 30 or $ 100, little by little, less $ 50 prepaid card stock, multiple terms because it is difficult to sell.

“Prices had to publicly inform Ah, stock price to rise quietly now, costs are passed on to consumers, certainly cannot accept it! “Miss Dragon said.

At the same time, recharge roadside newsstand are unable to issue communications invoice.

Effective charge “pick”

Roadside charge, a copy of the middleman to pay more “hard”, but also cannot be invoiced, at present, users have more choice of network charge.

In mobile, Unicom, Telecom’s website, all prepaid card denominations are full price sales, customer service phone I was informed that the network charge invoiced can also go to the Hall.

If is moved recharge card, online recharge Hou, carrying phone number, to main hall of self-help terminal equipment print invoice; if is Unicom recharge card, online recharge Hou, click “demanded invoice” button, then with ID card to Hall obtained from invoice; if is Telecom recharge card, in online recharge Shi, may itself set a 6 bit of invoice validation code, then with validation code and ID card to Hall obtained from invoice.

However, not all of the Hall to receive invoice business, such as moving companies, only in the main hall with self-service terminals where, before they can ask for an invoice.

On a number of e-commerce Web sites such as Taobao, buy prepaid cards tend to have a 98 percent discount, but shopkeepers did not provide invoices, and therefore careful people, if not to the invoice, purchased a large-denomination recharge card nor reimbursement, even if you hit the fold or effective enough.

As the popularity of mobile Internet, people can also be completed online using a mobile phone recharging. However, if the phone can’t go online, suddenly experienced downtime in the open air, at another Hall could not be found, users are still inclined to roadside newsstand recharging because they think “newsstands all over the street is that it’s easy to find. “Worry when recharging, fare increases of the middleman, or don’t care.

When I visited noted that some newsstands and supermarkets started to use a machine to recharge for your users, the bosses themselves advance a certain amount, purchased a certain amount of ‘, then ‘ filled in the user’s mobile phone. In the course of dealing, entity prepaid card does not appear. In addition to charging $ 30 need to pay $ 1, the other denominations were equivalent to buy prepaid. Bosses call this approach to recharge “air result”. However this style of recharging and rarely bosses to provide invoices.

The Beijing journal

The anti-monopoly law finally to a single operation. Open, high profile development and Reform Commission said investigations in China Telecom and China Unicom broadband market monopoly, which left many people praise. Just as China University of politics and law professor Li Shuguang says, this at least proves the anti-monopoly law is not a “paper tiger”, but “long teeth of the Tiger”. Why at this time of the anti-monopoly law on telecommunications and Unicom broadband “light sword”, it has a lot of imagination.

As we all know, due to the characteristics of socialist market economy of China, industrial and economic lifeline of the national economy is the relationship between State-owned, and dominant in the relevant fields. In the view of many people and consumers, this is called a “monopoly.” For example, oil, telecommunication, electric power, railway, and other areas are dominated by a single.

The telecommunications industry as an example, who can carry on fixed telephone for basic telecommunications services, who can, who can develop mobile phone businesses and who to develop broadband licence and license will need to be obtained from the departments concerned. Because of that, China Mobile can neither by telecommunications and Unicom mobile communications licence for many years, access to mobile business development and become the largest operator in one fell swoop, but also because of the same reasons, China Mobile to fixed-line and broadband market is severely restricted by Ministry and communications below.

How to define the monopoly are very controversial topics. “This is the antitrust law introduced the most controversial part of the process, because both economic monopoly and is administrative monopoly, will involve State-owned enterprises. “Li Shuguang said.

Amusing is that if consumers to report oil, China Mobile is a monopoly or State power grid monopoly, development and Reform Commission will also initiate an investigation? Now it seems that the anti-monopoly law is far to that point. The development and Reform Commission investigating antitrust case, more telecommunications and Unicom broadband portal access to competing firms, monopoly, monopoly is not in the consumer market.

So far, national development and Reform Commission has yet to publish the source information as well as Office Standard, which was introduced by the antitrust investigation process is even more puzzling. However, the easier is that it is like that now is broadcast television systems and telecommunications systems compete for triple play a crucial period of. It is understood that the triple play trial programme introduced time postponed again, both camps of the most hotly debated, is the export of broadband bandwidth and broadband. Department of radio and television operators in the broadband market has been difficult as, in addition to their limited size and level of network construction of, need to be paid to the China Telecom and China Unicom high net settlement costs is an important reason.

According to the 95% international export broadband Internet in China, six users, broadband Internet access 90% Internet content provider, are all located in telecommunications and Unicom, forming double pattern of monopolies. According to statistics of the Ministry in September 2010, the country has 120 million broadband users, in which Telecom accounted for 39% 51%, China Unicom, tietong (move) took up the 6%, radio and television 4%.

Information research center of Chinese Academy of social sciences to move “the fifth Telecom restructuring” proposal, aims to break the broadband industry in North and South of China Telecom, China Unicom their monopolistic status on the Internet access market, addressing telecommunications, Unicom trapped access to the Internet and “access” (content flow provider) problems.

Specific operating scenario for China Telecom, China Unicom’s data center operations and content operation split, operation of the market, introduce competition at the area of broadband access. However, due to too many stakeholders involved, this programme in the industry are not promising.

CCTV said, according to preliminary estimates of the departments concerned, being able to promote the formation of effective competition in the market over the next 5 years could prompt online price 27%~38%, at least for the consumer to save expenses for 10 billion ~150 billion yuan.

The development and Reform Commission on the telecommunications and China Unicom broadband antitrust investigation, at least can help struggling businesses expand their markets in the broadband market, and to get broadband resources at relatively cheap prices. In this sense, promoting market competition does have some kind of benefit.

Development and Reform Commission, a high profile after the announced inquiry into the telecommunications and Unicom, lest any pressures, apart from China Telecom and China Unicom, also includes a Department in charge of the Ministry, although operators are able to develop marketing policies, but band related to the export price was determined by the Ministry guide pricing.

At present, the development and Reform Commission whether they will really fine and penalty number two operator became the most concern media content. But even ticket under the national development and Reform Commission, the two major carriers renfa, then lowered the price of broadband access, the so-called “monopoly” pattern will not change. “The operator of this money is made, in the form of State-owned enterprises profit turned, if is was not impressed by development and Reform Commission, is directly in the name of development and Reform Commission, handed in, including how much difference do? “Said one of telecom industry.

According to voice of the news late peak on September 4, University School, telecom operators and open campus marketing wars: sent this phone bill, house phone call this banner, the trumpet even this took Taiwan opera, that blatantly let down, campus competition in telecom market is turning into three carriers “head-to-head battle.” Recently, Nanjing Institute of industrial technology telecommunication optical fiber cable “cut” events has become the industry’s focus. Specification for operator competition is imminent!

Campus marketing hard fighting concentrated around the recently erupted, profoundly reflect the telecom market competition had been distorted, deformed. Below Ministry more than a month in advance of this year banned uncivil competition operators, telecom companies in developing campus marketing shall not prejudice the exclusive agreements with schools shall not disparage competitor, and communication networks, telecommunications terminal equipment competitors compare effect of publicity, or any competitor operating normal publicity. But the fall of 2011 marketing the curtain opened on campus, Contender, the fierce market competition. To this end, the reporters interviewed Ding Daoqin researcher by the Institute of Ministry of telecommunications policy.

　Campus competition is the extension of the benefit game

Reporter: Campus market has been in telecom enterprises for “a place of strategic importance”, no one can hope I get one of the biggest slice of, so disordered competition or even the growing phenomenon of vicious competition, campus vicious competition in telecommunication enterprise roots lie?

Ding Daoqin: as telecom tariff integrated level of fast fell and students overall consumption ability of constantly upgrade, mobile phone, and broadband, telecom service gradually became students of learning and life of necessities, around College, and career college due to exists large may became high-end user of potential consumption groups, huge of students user became has Telecom enterprise focus chase of customer group, campus telecom market became telecom operations enterprise “a place of strategic importance”. Because the campus market competition is the extension of the benefit game. Campus market size should not be underestimated, campus market is to train future markets and a loyal user of incubator, as telecommunication enterprises scramble to develop user market, and development of mobile users was three big telecom companies in common marketing strategies focused on campus.

In a sense, vicious competition had its origins in the campus market telecom operators ‘ lack of awareness of industry self-regulation, leading to frequent “orders, and persistence” situation. From can see, telecom operations enterprise Zhijian lack trust, lack on industry of identity sense, mutual between lack good of communication coordination mechanism, plus in country funded Committee and telecom operations enterprise group, and province company of layer Layer examination Xia, some telecom operations enterprise even has specifically on campus market share of indicators examination mechanism, in a species degree Shang led grass-roots company eager for, take does not legitimate competition means, at all cost development campus market user. So, telecommunication enterprises should set up “one both wing and a loss for both sides” common sense in safeguarding common interests and good images on the premise of the telecommunications industry, competition and cooperation, differentiation competition.

At the same time, telecom regulators should be strengthened with the education authorities and relevant industry associations cooperate, increased supervision, establish good communication and coordination mechanisms regulating the behavior of telecommunication enterprise campus telecommunications market to curb irregularities on the rise of college market momentum, and protect users ‘ legitimate rights and interests, promote the healthy development of the telecommunications industry.

　Exclusive competition tarnished reputation

Reporter: disturb the market order, such as ignoring prohibitions and regulations at a high cost to strive for market, at the “1000 wound the enemy, since the loss of 800″, fighting a vicious price war, which will bring the negative impact on competition in the market as a whole?

Ding Daoqin: Campus market share entire communications market is unlikely, but belong to the Windows market, conflicts easily highlight. Current homogenization of competition generally campus telecommunications services market, there are still many impediments to fair competition, prejudice the legitimate interests the user and other issues, appears in some areas even endanger personal and property safety signs and serious incidents, have extremely bad social consequences.

For example, some carriers ‘ exclusivity agreement with the school (including verbal agreement), or by paying entry fees, revenue-sharing and sponsorship of scientific research projects, giving high gift of teaching instrument and equipment and other means to access to exclusive marketing rights in schools. Some telecom companies to campus market share, at the time of developing campus marketing deliberately manufactured and spread harmful peer-reputation and business reputation of false information, defamation of his personality, so that it cannot in the normal market trading activity, weaken their market competitiveness, so as to make their advantage in the market competition behaviors.

　　Vicious competition reflects the lack of 3G innovation

Reporter: 3G era is the period of Telecom Enterprise innovation opportunities, but “at all costs to seize new users, squeezing the rival an existing user” inefficient competition still become the first choice of which split shot telecom enterprises operating in traditional thinking, what are the weaknesses?

Ding Daoqin: Campus market competition is the continuation of the telecom market competition and in miniature. Due to three major telecom operators in the fixed-line, broadband and mobile technologies and business areas have different strengths, in campus marketing emphasis has focused on, but entered the campus market model has similarities, for example, by sponsoring the forms with the school to build an enduringly stable relationship reconstruction of campus information service platforms, packages-business bundles, as well as real marketing and other means. Homogeneous competition led to vicious competition would only carriers into a disastrous cycle, making telecommunication operation enterprises continue to increase input in campus marketing, constantly from an opponent gain users, constantly being opponents claimed the user, the cycle.

“At cost preemption freshmen user, extrusion competition opponent existing user” of low effect, and with mass of even does not legitimate of competition way reflect has telecom operations enterprise traditional marketing of eager for and innovation lack, no from very extensive of simple of marketing cost of inputs steering more fine of of market subdivision, no in brand of Foundation in products and service Shang do differences, using own very sharp of brand features to attracted different level of campus user.

But, we also delighted of see, now three large telecom operations enterprise apart from relies on station Shuttle, and free phone reported peace, and beverage presented, and brand activities, and WLAN free experience, traditional service means outside, in business products, and network service, and brand publicity, area increased has innovation of efforts, especially launched specifically of campus brand, conducive to carried out differences of competition, from simple exclusive steering products and service of innovation.
