The names of the three major operators have been talked about for a long time. If he didn't see the news again today, Xiao Lei forgot that China Unicom, China Mobile and China Telecom are not the only domestic mobile communication market. As early as 2020, China Radio and television network Co., Ltd. was officially established in Beijing, becoming the fourth telecom operator in China, and got the 5g license in one step. The announcement of relevant policies has been implemented as early as 2019. After several years of construction and development, when everyone is about to forget China Radio and television, the new news finally came. It is reported that China Radio and television will officially start operating mobile phone segment 192 on May 17. In fact, as early as 2021, China Radio and television has started a small-scale reservation and registration activity in some regions. Users who make an appointment in advance will be able to buy the mobile phone number of section 192 at the first time. Some readers may be curious, isn't it a new operator? What are you happy about? Well, that's a bad word. As the saying goes, there can be progress only if there is competition. Today's three major operators share the world equally. There has long been a consensus. Before there is no major change in the overall market, it is difficult for users to pick up any wool from the three major operators, but if there is a fourth company at this time, things will become interesting. Why am I happy when radio and television are here? After several years of preparation, China Radio and television finally came late. As China's fourth mobile network operator, what impact will the arrival of China Radio and television have? From a large perspective, the addition of new operators will obviously bring the mobile network market, which has been calm for a long time, back into the fighting stage. Why is Xiao Lei so determined? Very simply, in every industry market, the first thing new players do when they enter the market is often to rob customers, and the behavior of robbing customers will inevitably arouse the vigilance and defense of other companies. In this process, some original achievements may be broken and drive the changes of the whole market. Generally speaking, for users, these changes are developing in a good direction. For example, today's 5g packages of China Mobile, China Unicom and Telecom are basically the same in terms of tariff price setting and traffic package setting. Except for some old-fashioned meals, the new packages are basically not much different. In fact, this is also a tacit understanding among the three operators. Instead of fighting a price war with each other to reduce their profits, it is better to set the package price at a high level and maintain the existing profits. I don't know if you have found that many low-cost tariff packages have gradually disappeared in the past year. For example, the popular unlimited traffic package in previous years has completely disappeared now. Some low-cost and high flow packages are basically no longer accepted. From the official website of mobile, there are not many tariff packages that can be handled directly online, and the starting price of the package is full of routines. For example, mobile has a 5g package priced at 9 yuan per month, with 5g traffic in the tariff and 30 minutes of free talk time. It looks cost-effective, doesn't it? In fact, the monthly rent of 9 yuan only lasts for 6 months. If you want to continue to use it after 6 months, you need to pay a monthly rent of 39 yuan. Many friends around Xiao Lei have been "cheated" by the operator's preferential routine. The original package price is 89 yuan, and the preferential price is 39 yuan. Later, he forgot to modify the package, resulting in that the mobile phone bill is not enough to offset the monthly rent of the current month, so that he suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation without network use on the train. Moreover, because there is no network, he can't even recharge the bill. Finally, in desperation, Xiao Lei's friend turned to the steward to charge him enough to deduct the monthly rent, and then transferred it to the steward after the network was reopened. Although to some extent, this pot can not be fully deducted from the operators. After all, before deducting the monthly rent, it will generally send a message in advance to notify the lack of telephone charges, but this does not guarantee that users pay attention to the relevant information. Take SMS notification as an example. Xiaolei's mobile phone receives at least 10 SMS messages every day, including promotional messages, bank card withholding messages and epidemic prevention messages. In addition, there are a large number of application push pop-up windows. Most of the time, he takes a glance at the brief content of the SMS in the notification bar, and then directly empties the notification bar, In this case, the information about insufficient telephone charges can easily be ignored in the past. According to Xiao Lei's understanding, China Unicom, China Mobile and China Telecom all have similar time limited preferential packages, and they basically automatically convert high price packages after the preferential period. They will not notify users by telephone or other more effective ways to ask whether to continue to use or replace other packages (when promoting 5g packages, the phone is one day). At least Xiao Lei hopes that the admission of China Radio and television will bring a little change to the mobile network market and let the three major operators make a little action to respond. Moreover, China Radio and television, which has some deficiencies in base stations, wants to attract users to join. The most likely action is to reduce the price of tariff package. If it can pull other operators into the price war again, it is obviously a beautiful thing for users. What are the advantages of China Radio and television? Of course, the choice of operators cannot only depend on the tariff. If the network is too poor and there are too few base stations, even if it is a free gift, I'm afraid you have to weigh whether it is worth using. After all, no one can stand the day when there is no network in two steps. Then, as an operator established for only more than a year, what are the advantages of their base station construction and network services that are worthy of users' choice? According to what Xiaolei learned, although China's Radio and television base stations are still under construction and cover far less urban areas and areas than several other operators, we may not have too many concerns about network quality. It is obviously impossible for China Radio and television to catch up with the three old operators from scratch. Therefore, at the beginning of its establishment, China Radio and television had contact with China Mobile, and then the two established a cooperative relationship. China Radio and television will jointly build and share a new 5g 700MHz base station with China Mobile. When users enter areas not covered by China Radio and television for the time being, the mobile phone will continue to provide network access services for users by borrowing the networks of other operators. However, there may be no 5g signal, but 4G signal. The specific situation depends on the agreement between major operators. Why is China Mobile willing to cooperate with China Radio and television? Isn't this "capital enemy"? In fact, the premise of their cooperation is that China Radio and television will share its 700MHz frequency band with China Mobile in exchange for the sharing of their base stations. Moreover, this kind of base station sharing is different from the virtual network built by companies such as Xiaomi renting operators' base stations before. China Radio and television can set the package price completely with its own ideas. Virtual operators rent the operator's network and actually earn profits belonging to the operator, so the rent is often not low. Unless the virtual operator is willing to provide additional subsidies, the tariff package may be higher than that of the operator itself. Radio and television is different. It is a competitive and cooperative relationship with mobile. It does not need to pay additional rent. It only needs to divide part of the profits generated by borrowing the base station to mobile, so it can give a lower tariff package to attract users. At this point, it is estimated that some readers are curious: the base station built by mobile with such a large amount of money is sent out for one frequency band? Is the 700MHz band really so important? In fact, as early as 2020, a large amount of base station construction funds invested by mobile were allocated to base stations in 700MHz band, far exceeding the n77 band previously dominated. Xiaolei simply gives an example, and you know the importance of 700MHz frequency band. Based on the 2600mhz 5g frequency band previously used by China Mobile, it is higher than the 4G frequency band previously used. The higher the frequency band, the lower the anti loss ability of the signal, and more base stations are needed to cover an area. In the 4G era, in order to achieve national network coverage, China Mobile has built a total of 3.15 million base stations, while 5g base stations with higher frequency will only need more base stations to cover the whole country. If we change to 700MHz frequency band, the situation will change greatly. According to the prediction, if we use 700MHz frequency band to build 5g base stations, we only need 450000-500000 base stations nationwide, and the construction cost will be directly reduced to one sixth or even lower. Moreover, the use of 700MHz frequency band will not only reduce the construction cost, but also greatly reduce the cost of subsequent operation and maintenance of base stations. In terms of the life cycle of the whole 5g network, the cost saved will be 10 billion. Now you should understand why mobile does not hesitate to contribute its own base stations, but also cooperate with China Radio and television? In addition to China's high-definition broadcasting base stations, they are also responsible for China's Radio and television broadcasting, which have their own advantages. Not only 4K, but also 8K programs will be broadcast in the future. With the advantages of video resources and the high network speed of 5g network, China Radio and television is expected to realize the broadcasting of online ultra-high definition TV, which also has richer resources than other operators. Of course, the specific situation remains to be announced by the official announcement of China Radio and television. After the 192 mobile phone section is officially launched, although the relevant charges and services have yet to be officially announced, considering the low construction cost and operation cost of 700MHz 5g base station, it may give a 10% attractive charge price to interested friends, At that time, you can consider directly buying a new card or carrying the number to the Internet.
