Sharing policies to promote triple play voice gradually ring

February 20th, 2010 Hero No comments

Energy-saving emission reduction is the focus of national development strategies in recent years, part of the operators, Sharing is the best means to implement energy-saving emission reduction as one. To this end, the Department of Engineering, said the letter would be out of the New Deal to protect cell phone signals into the subways, airports and other public places, the current telecommunications infrastructure on access to certain key areas of the relevant provisions of the “draft” has also been issued to the Authority throughout the communication.

It is understood that this “draft” will subways, airports, high-speed railway, national and provincial tourism scenic spots such as six types of telecommunications infrastructure at key locations to make access to the system requirements to ensure smooth communication of these public places . This might make for a long time since the troubled cell phone signal coverage difficult to solve the problem.

Further, this is the second “On promoting the sharing of telecommunications infrastructure build an emergency notice”, the protection of the smooth construction of telecommunication infrastructure, another one re-header file. While paying attention to key areas of access issues, the expansion of communications facilities, Sharing the scope and intensity, but also this “draft” the contents of major concern. Can be said that policy has become the main force of the 2010 Sharing, Sharing once again become the industry’s expectations.

In 2009, under the policy to promote and build a shared resource conservation reached 10 billion, which is consistent with the idea of energy-saving emission reduction. It is understood that the present stage of work is based on Sharing Sharing network infrastructure-based.Documents issued since 2008, China has been reduced by three operators, tower, pole road, base station sites and supporting facilities, transmission lines and other investments, a total construction investment has been saved in full more than 10 billion yuan, Sharing has made gratifying achievements.

According to statistics, in 2009, Hainan Province telecommunications enterprises build a new tower rate of 55.7%; build a new base rate of 28.6%; build a new transmission line rate of 3.56%; tower sharing rate was 45.6%, the base station share the rate of 47.7 %; transmission line sharing rate of 40%; under way to share up to 100%. Three basic telecommunications business to save investment cost of about 1.2 billion, accounting for the telecommunications industry in Hainan Province, in 2009 the total investment in fixed assets 1 / 20. Various indicators have all completed letter of the Ministry of Public Construction and Sharing of assessment requirements, and among the best in the country.

An innovative model to promote and achieve greater Sharing breakthrough should become the focus of the year 2010, the same need for policy support. January 21 of this year, China Telecom Shanghai with Shanghai Unicom signed the cooperation agreement Sharing the Year 2010, the two operators to share 3G base stations will reach 500 in the end of this year is expected to save money almost 2 billion, of which “Building cooperation norms “to build a landing tower base the principles of cooperation, cooperation processes, cost settlement, maintenance and management etc. have been standardized, is a policy to promote” sharing “typical.

Sharing in advancing the communications industry, it is also necessary to promote triple play Sharing. In order to build a shared forward and two-way cable TV network of the digital upgrade, speed up urban and rural areas, broadband FTTH network coverage in the process, become a policy face a major release of message content level, which is also the focus of shared items. These will not only help stimulate domestic consumption demand, will also promote the development of information and cultural industries, but also will enrich the lives of the people. Serve multiple purposes, the Government should vigorously promote.

Needless to say, the formation of Sharing will be a constant effort brings power. Only levels of government, businesses fully aware of the importance of Sharing, work together to help advance the work in order to build a shared-depth, and can be energy-saving emission reduction work fully implemented.
