5G时代的流量正义和网络中立之争及治理前瞻

Conflicts and Governance Prospects on Flowing Justice and Net Neutrality in 5G Era

5G是新一代移动通信网络,正处于商用部署的应用发展阶段.现在人们畅谈着它可能带来的与以往不同的高速度、大宽带、低延时体验,设想着无人驾驶汽车、远程手术等应用场景,同时也提出了它是否带来收益分配、环境-健康影响、社会安全方面的流量正义问题,如使用5G切片技术提供专业服务是否会成为新的社会不平等的根源.事实上,这类问题已经引发了对网络中立议题的各种争议.反对者主张把它看作是网络中立规则的例外情形,支持者则认为这会带来一种新的“流量歧视”.在5G的社会影响不确定的情况下,要坚持网络的中立与开放原则,从一开始就把消除流量歧视体现到新的技术标准中,支持企业研发更先进的安全技术并进行相关环境基础研究,同时注重建立利益相关方的责任共担和利益共享机制,为5G网络健康安全发展提供良好的社会环境.

As a new generation of mobile communication network,5G is in the development stage of commercial deployment.Now people are talking about the higher speed,larger broadband,and lower delay experience than before which it may brings.People are wondering some scenes like driverless cars and long-distance operation.Meanwhile,people also consider if it can bring flowing justice problems in income distribution,environmental-health and social security.For example,5G slice technology with professional services will become the root cause of new social inequality or not.In fact,such issues have sparked controversy over the net neutrality.Opponents see it as an exception of the net neutrality rule,and supporters argue it will bring a new"flowing discrimination".Under the uncertain impacts of 5G,an neutral and open net should be kept;the elimination of flowing discrimination should be applied into the new technical standards from the outset;enterprises should be supported to develop more advanced security technology and carry out related environmental basic research;and the mechanism of responsibilities and benefits sharing for related parts should be established.All of the above will help us to create an enabling social environment for 5G network.
