从小灵通看“落后”技术的创新价值

Personal Access Phone System: The Value of Innovation Based on Lower Technology

针对小灵通这种基于“落后”技术的产品,分析了其商业化价值。小灵通拥有强大的商业化能力,显著地提升了我国两大语音通信市场特别是移动电话市场的价值,其对消费者福利的年均贡献达到近百亿元。鉴于我国居民的实际收入水平增速较慢,小灵通的绿色环保特征及其与固定电话的捆绑关系,预期小灵通还会有更长的生命周期。

The commercialization and market contribution of PAS, which came from PHS technology, were analyzed. And it is showed that there has been a prominent effect on the voice communication markets of China from PAS through its great commercializing ability, by which PAS has taken up a very important position in the development history of Chinese telecommunications market. The market value of innovation from PAS was estimated to be about ten billions RMB yuan of consumers＇ welfare, which has contributed mainly to mobile telephone market but with an increasing effect to fixed local telephone market over time. It is expected that there will be a longer lifetime for PAS considering the lower growth rate of consumers＇ income in the future and the environmental friendliness of PAS and its binding relationships with fixed local telephone systems.
