HOSTING AN ECONOMIC MEETING on Tuesday, Premier Li Keqiang mentioned the high cost and low efficiency of mobile Internet access in China, and urged that these issues be addressed. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology later responded that they will accelerate this process. Comments:
China Telecom, China Netcom, China Mobile ... all these broadband providers actually have ties with each other, so they collude with each other to maintain the high prices, instead of competing and bringing them down. What is needed is not to build more base stations, but to break their monopoly in the industry so that consumers really have the right to choose.
