This article describes the status quo of the telecom network and the Internet as well as the problems faced by each of them, analyzes the causes of those problems, and makes suggestions on coordinated and balanced development of the telecom network and the Internet.展开更多

China’s public data telecommunications, networks have become the main stream for the country’s information transmission through several years of rapid development. China’s public packet switching data network (China Pac), its network capacity increasing to over 60,000 terminals, now covers more than 600 cities, and is interconnected with 44 packet networks of 23 countries and regions.

The Internet is at a development crossroad; and its direction of development has attracted great attention from the world. On the other hand, the telecom industry is in a rather passive position as the result of the great impact the Internet technology has posted on it. The telecom industry has failed in defining its own developing direction and technology breakthrough; therefore, it is also at a crossroad. The development of both the Internet and the telecom networks will lead to the development of Next Generation Network (NGN) technologies. Industrial attention and research should be focused on the key NGN technologies, solutions to problems in the development of these technologies, and their commercialization in a short term.展开更多

During the transformation, they should be concerned about the network user number and the network quality as well as the value added network information. The low threshold for service provision brings a new breed of service providers, which impacts upon the current regulation policy. To adapt to the development of the NGN, it is a necessity to improve the regulation policy in terms of service operators management, user management, Quality of Service (QoS) assurance, service monitoring, charging, and settlement. Meanwhile, regulatory authorities should establish a new body as quickly as possible to meet the trend of the NGN convergence. The new regulatory body would be responsible for regulating operators who will be awarded full-service licenses, and managing new service providers effectively to guarantee the user’s interests.展开更多
