China Telecom's future goal: popularize "20M broadband"
Recently, in addition to the layout of FDD, China Telecom is also working hard on another thing - promoting the construction of fiber-optic broadband. At the end of June, Wang Xiaochu, chairman of China Telecom, announced the latest news of China Telecom's "20M broadband" at the China Telecom Tianyi Mobile Phone Trade Fair: "In the 21 provinces where China Telecom is the main battlefield, we will provide 20M bandwidth to all cities." Wang Xiaochu also said that consumers can change their bandwidth at any time according to their needs. "For example, if our consumers want to watch the World Cup football match, they can charge during this period." In order to achieve the goal of popularizing broadband and facilitate sales by distributors, China Telecom will "standardize" and "integrate" broadband sales. However, Wang Xiaochu did not say when "all cities" will popularize "20M broadband". China Telecom's previously released "12th Five-Year Plan" broadband development goals show: to achieve urban fiberization in three years. In 2011, Wang Xiaochu, then general manager of China Telecom, said that in 2013, all household customers in southern cities (including county towns) will be provided with 20M access, and fiber-to-home coverage will reach 80 million households. At the end of the "12th Five-Year Plan", southern urban areas will achieve full coverage of optical networks for households and government and enterprise users, and fiber-to-home coverage will exceed 100 million. The 12th Five-Year Plan will soon be over. With a call, China Telecom began to mobilize in various places. According to the strategic implementation schedule, 2013 is an important node. In this year, the proportion of administrative villages with broadband access reached 90%, the coverage of 20MBPs broadband access capacity among urban broadband users reached 80%, and the coverage of 4Mbps broadband access capacity among rural broadband users reached 85%. Unlike ordinary ADSL broadband, fiber broadband mainly uses FTTH technology. ADSL is suitable for scattered users, while FTTH+LAN is aimed at relatively concentrated user groups. However, compared with fiber to the building (FTTB), the initial construction cost of FTTH is 83% higher than that of FTTB. When the penetration rate exceeds 50%, the construction costs of FTTH and FTTB will gradually decrease. Some experts also analyzed that fiber to the home is not only a problem of fiber laying, but also a problem of bandwidth at home. If it is only within 10M, there is no need to use fiber, and ADSL can already meet the needs. Although China Telecom has long started to implement the "optical fiber in, copper out" project, the entire optical network coverage has begun to take shape, but the user development has not grown in scale. According to a person in the communications industry, since the implementation of the FTTH scale construction, China Telecom Group has encountered the problem of low port utilization. The investment in optical fiber network is the support for broadband speed increase. Although the investment in optical fiber network has not significantly increased the revenue of telecom enterprises. The above-mentioned person said that there is even a debate within the telecom enterprises on "whether it is worthwhile to speed up". This is also one of the reasons why "the leaders shout loudly, but the audience is not active".
