10/22/2008, Just before the Beijing communication show 2008, Vice prisident and fellow of China engineering institute, Mr. Wu, hequan said in a forum that broadband development is government's duty.
As he said:"Broband brings service converging, the strategy of broadband developing is not the task of those carriers, government should have right policy to promote this. "He points out that compared to the 40Mbps bandwidth in Korea, 20Mbps in Hongkong, Chinese internet users only have less than 2Kbps average bandwidth. China still has a long way on broadband development. Wu also said, the most important service for broadband is video service, but because of policy problem, Chinese carriers still can not develope video service in full speed.
I agree with Mr. Wu that government's policy is the key block on the development of broadband in China. But I also want to point out, as a former high rank officer from China Telecom, Mr. Wu didn't point out that Chna didn't allow cable TV service providers to run voice service freely. Cable service providrs are in very weak position compared to those big telecom carriers. That is the reason they try their best to block telecom service providers enter video market.
The most important thing in China's telecom market, and on the strategy of broadband developing, it is to build a fair environment for competition, not only for telecom carriers, but also for cable TV service providers.
