subject: Fixed Tariff Reform Was Challenged: As A Direct Cancellation Of Monthly [print this page] Legend has finally come into the world of fixed tariff reform. November 25 has been reported that, according to Liang Buwei "on the adjustment of fixed local telephone service pricing management notice" requirement Fixed telephone Pre-existing rates, 3 minutes reduced by 50%; the same day, "Beijing Morning Post," the source said, after deregulation, fixed telephone and PHS Hua Fei is expected to further reduce, especially by consumers complaining about the monthly fee is also expected to further reduce or even cancel.
Fixed rates are, indeed, to create a more affordable consumer spending is expected that while the reforms were mainly adjusted the prices of telecom tariff management forms, specific charges do not involve the standard adjustments, but it is concerned with the most sensitive of the "price control "problem. Previously, these telecom services tariffs are to implement government pricing, telecommunications companies launched a variety of tariff concessions packages, must be approved by government authorities and the price department approval?? Now, in the "upper limit" rules, how love how cheap the cheap.
This is really a little bit, "cries Big Bargain" feeling, indeed, "intended to protect the interests of consumers." However, if the fixed charges on telecommunications reform and the development of a background consideration, then a closer look at what the list of tariff reform, "take the initiative to none other" not so exciting. One who, in Mobile The era of high tariffs, fixed clear market advantages, but as the Mobile One-way cash charges, long distance and roaming charges lower and lower, fixed price advantage gone. Ministry of Industry and the latest data show that Shanghai has reached 20.386 million mobile phone users, but only 9.405 million fixed-line, nationwide fixed and mobile users are so counter-balance. Fixed charges, if not adjusted, only waiting to enter the Museum?? Now more or fixed adjustment of the "self-help Kingdoms", is like a big supermarket next to the suddenly alone in the number of stores, so crazy big promotion.
Fixed tariff reform, and from the historical perspective, China's fixed rates are too high already beyond doubt. City would not provide a detailed list of inaccurate billing, tariff and other non-transparent, is also reflected in China's fixed-phone users the most problems. Right now, fixed rates suddenly decreased by 50%, but not necessarily how the public seemed pleased, I'm afraid not yet cold to consumers got cheaper, but the drop was too late.
Fixed tariff reform, whether it is sharing profit or advantage of the situation and to take the initiative? Take a look at fixed monthly fees, it actually in the tariff reform or dies but never falls?? "Is expected to further reduce or even canceled." Since rates can be lowered to 50%, and most rural users monthly fee per cent more than the Huafei N times, really none other than the direct one-step cancellation of the monthly fee.
In addition, the "cap" the word, we have a lot of experience, such as fuel surcharges on domestic routes complex sign, then the airlines, competition, more powerful than the fixed, are not they shoot straight to the " cap "on by? Fixed rates down to reasonable levels, is the trend to let consumers really get benefits, can not rely on macro policy, had to rely on mature, open market mechanism.
