MII's No.11 5 year plan

3/5/2006, MII published their "Information industry in the No. 11 Five year developing plan". Mr. Lou, qinjian, vice ministry of MII, said that the plan is a guilding plan for the industry from strategic, macro and full view.
According to local media, the chief idea in this plan is " promote triple play, enhance service and technology innovation ability, transform from simple service provider to mutli-service provider. "
Detailed methods to guarentee the realization of the plan include below:
Universial service fundAdjust competition structure following the 3G licences bidingEncourage Non-public investement to enter telecom industryHelp Chinses company develope overseas marketPut TD-SCDMA, IPv6, Wireline or Wireless broadband technology in advanceIntroduce Telecom Act A.S.A.P
Sounds good, but I am not very optismatic on it. Before our government can releaize it, there are still a lot of hurdles. On the other side, without open competition in local telecom market, without putting braodband a very stragegy position, the plan still cannot be compared with similar plan in US, in Japan , in Korea, even in Taiwan.
