4G users should not be made to pay speed price for rollout of 5G

WEN KU, director of the telecom development department at the Ministry of Industry and Information has denied the rumor that the speed of 4G networks is being restricted to promote 5G. Beijing News comments:

Wu told the media that the ministry never has and never will require telecommunication service providers to restrict or lower the internet speed of 4G networks.

In an era when the speed of the internet is the speed of life, it is little wonder that internet speed is a sensitive issue. The arrival of the 5G era should mean not only faster internet speed, but also a new user experience and a more transparent network consumption environment. However, that does not mean the rights and interests of 4G users should be ignored.
