Chapter 483: One 3G license for each family

Regarding the mobile communications industry, both domestic and foreign opinions treat it as an industry with national strategic significance, and the domestic industry wants to use its own technology to firmly control it. Therefore, the Ministry of Information Industry considers the aspects of *** and improving the level of industry. It hopes that the td-scdma standard proposed by China can be promoted as soon as possible, so it is the most enthusiastic. However, with the deepening of reforms over the years, the competent departments are no longer golden rules. China Unicom has had a disagreement with the Ministry of Posts and Telecom, the predecessor of the Ministry of Information Industry, and although Mobile and Telecom were both the "own sons" of the Ministry of Posts and Telecom, the two companies have just separated for a while, in order to ensure the maximization of the interests of their own companies, they dare not directly confront their immediate superiors, but they are mostly false and disobedient.

Therefore, the Ministry of Information Industry had to count on Yang Xing, who had never liked to be the leader, and wanted to use his subordinate Nebula Electronics' important position in the domestic mobile communications industry to stand up and point out a clear way for everyone. It is better than fighting in the village. Foreign manufacturers took advantage of it and broke the domestic communications market situation that had finally improved in China. Yang Xing pointed out the responsibility for promoting TD-Scdma to China Telecom as soon as he reached out. The three operators looked different, but they all breathed a sigh of relief in private.

At this meeting, China Unicom was undoubtedly the most resistant to TD-Scdma technology. Even officials from the Ministry of Information Industry complained to Yang Xing privately that it was because Yang Xing introduced CDMA communication technology for them that China Unicom's attitude was so tough.

In the 2G communication era, because the telecommunications company, which had not yet been separated, adopted the European GSM standard networking system, which had the widest range of applications, China Telecom, as one of the two mobile communications companies in the country at that time, undoubtedly had huge political and economic advantages. Therefore, the GSM network was fully launched nationwide, which made its competitor Unicom unable to raise its head. At this time, the CDMA baseband chip developed by Nebula Electronics was undoubtedly a timely help. Under Yang Xing's lobbying, China Unicom's senior management made up their minds to abandon the GSM network that had no hope of winning, and made every effort to launch the CDMA network, and successfully launched promotional methods such as access to the network and delivering mobile phones. Using the advantages of the CDMA standard itself, it not only restored the decline, but also competed with the mobile company.

The current 3G mobile communication technology standards are actually derived from cdma technology, and China Unicom has taken a huge advantage invisibly because the three three-generation communication standards WCDMA, cdma2000, td-scdma are recognized by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). You can only know that they have a close relationship with cdma by just literally speaking. The core technology of cdma is recognized in the industry as being in the hands of Qualcomm in the United States and Stardust Communications in Hong Kong.

At that time, Nebula Electronics, the parent company of Qualcomm and Stardust Communications, went to court for the development of CDMA baseband chips, but they didn't know each other. After the two settled out of court, Qualcomm and Nebula Electronics formed a strategic partnership in multiple fields. Now it seems that Yang Xing is indeed a first-year move, because most of the CDMA technology is in the hands of Qualcomm and Stardust Communications, and they cannot avoid the support of the two companies that use 3G format.

Officials from the Ministry of Information Industry complained privately that China Unicom has introduced the cdma2000 technology that uses the US standard to secretly form an experimental communication network. The method is exactly the same as Yang Xing's low-key establishment of the cdma network. Because the use of cdma2000 technology can be directly upgraded and transformed on the original cdma network, and there is no need to pay the manpower and material resources to form a network again, so he has no interest in the domestic TD-Scdma standard.

For the same reason, Mobile is obviously more interested in the European WCDMA standard. After all, as the 3G technology of ***GSM, WCDMA can be upgraded and transformed on the existing GSM network, which can save a lot of money on the cost and time of building communication base stations across the country before Mobile worked hard to build networks across the country. If TD-Scdma had not been able to use the existing GSM network to upgrade, I am afraid that Mobile would have refused to adopt the TD-Scdma standard. Now its attitude is very swaying and unstable.

In contrast, China Telecom, which failed to obtain its own communications license in the 2G era, received the highest acceptance of the td-scdma standard. Yang Xing recommended that Telecom adopt their Xiaolingtong at that time, and successfully played the edge of the policy. Xiaolingtong is not strictly considered a mobile communication technology at all. It uses a mature landline network and is considered a wireless landline with a large coverage range at most. It has low technical level, but it has the characteristics of cheap network layout and low phone bills. As a result, this wireless communication technology that is considered to be eliminated has achieved unexpected success.

Due to Xiaolingtong's success, China Telecom is undoubtedly very coveted to obtain its own mobile communication license. Even if the td-scdma standard has various shortcomings, they have no pressure because they do not have a real mobile communication network, and they are confident that they can adapt to the initial commercial losses and even make mistakes of the td-scdma standard. After all, there are successful examples of Xiaolingtong. China Telecom does not think that the td-scdma standard that is much more advanced than it will fail. At most, it will be a low-price strategy.

In fact, Telecom Knows that Xiaolingtong's success is an exception. Its basic technology is an internationally recognized elimination technology. Telecom uses it only as a transition. After all, it has too many shortcomings and has almost no hope of upgrading. It can take this opportunity to obtain the next generation of wireless communication technology, which it cannot afford. However, it asked for a lot of money to pay it back locally. Telecom's representatives put forward various difficulties at the meeting as negotiation strategies, hoping to squeeze out some more oil and water from the Ministry of Information and Yang Xing.

Now Yang Xingpeng clearly supports telecommunications as an operator of the td-scdma standard, which has fulfilled the wishes of all parties. The three major communication providers pretended to confront each other for a few times, and all waited for the final arbitration of the Ministry of Information and Industry. Seeing that Yang Xing made such a decisive judgment, it was difficult to mix with him anymore, so he had to announce that he would study it again.

There are two reasons why Yang Xing made such a clear statement. One is that he has selfish intentions and does not want to repeat the failure of the TD-Scdma standard. As the first technology that the Chinese have been recognized by the world communications industry, even if the TD-Scdma standard has its shortcomings, he wants it to grow and grow and be able to compete with the other two standards. Moreover, choosing Telecom also means that as a monopolist in providing telecommunications with small-scale technology, Stardust Communications shares its position with Qualcomm in the field of CDMA standards, and is still confident in obtaining large orders for many key equipment for TD-Scdma.

The second is that he wants to end the 3G standard dispute as soon as possible, so that the Ministry of Information Industry and the senior management of the country will make up their minds early and not miss the great opportunity for the development of 3G. The td-scdma standard dispute is actually a big game between major interest groups in the communications industry. Due to the weak foundation of my country's communications industry and most of the key technologies are controlled by foreign manufacturers, the efforts to join domestic companies to challenge foreign manufacturers have failed repeatedly. The 3G standard dispute actually involves a gamble from major domestic and foreign mobile device manufacturers. They have all seen the huge potential of the Chinese communications market in the next ten years and hope that their technical standards can gain a dominant position in this market. So they lobby for the top government at all costs, which has led to the slow failure of the upper-level government officials. The issuance of 3G licenses has been delayed for more than 9 years, which has seriously dragged down the launch of the td-scdma standard, and finally became a lonely swordsman who can only practice swordsman in China.

As a rebirth in this life, he has brought a major turning point in the orbit of history. Now Stardust Communications is the only one in the domestic market, and can have offense and defense with international giants, regardless of victory or defeat. With this strength, Yang Xing does not think it is necessary to continue arguing. Before the meeting, he communicated with the State Councilor who presided over the meeting. At that time, he clearly expressed his views. Since he couldn't argue, he would just go all out! Each of the three major operators has a 3g license, so there is nothing to say.

This is not Yang Xing’s sudden idea of ​​being equal to the rich and poor, but the destined ending in his previous life. At most, Yang Xing asked Yang Xing to give it in advance. Yang Xing’s reasons are very sufficient. Although there is a suspicion of repeated construction, the information society is changing rapidly. Instead of waiting for the success or failure of other countries to choose their own technology, why not take the initiative to try it in China first and see which standard is more popular among consumers. The td-scdma standard is maintained under a shed with someone to block the wind and rain. It can never spread its wings and fly high. Using the rapidly growing mobile communication market in the domestic market for competition, at most, the td-scdma standard failed to promote the td-scdma standard, and we can learn from our mistakes. If we succeed, the td-scdma standard can not only dominate the domestic market, but also set an example. When promoting the td-scdma standard, you can also be confident. Since there are gains in both success and failure, why not let go of your hands and feet?

Yang Xing also pointed out that the key to the problem now is not to choose which 3G standard to choose, but to build the network as soon as possible so that the td-scdma standard can be promoted and opened as soon as possible. In recent years, with the development of 2G mobile communication technology, 2.5 generation technologies such as GPRRS and CDMaone that have increased the data transmission volume have been widely used. The traditional voice communication function of mobile phones is gradually being replaced by more mobile Internet services. It is recognized that the core of the next generation of communication technology is the mobile Internet. The td-scdma standard can skip directly to the 3G era without these steps. This is also the reason why Yang Xing recommends that China Telecom, which has a smaller burden, undertakes networking tasks. It just so happens that this opportunity can also make a big push for the construction of the unfinished basic Internet in China.
