Recently, it was learned from the three major operators that one of the operators' priorities this year is to continue to speed up the price reduction. The long-distance roaming charges concerned by the outside world are expected to be completely cancelled at the end of this year.

Recently, Zhang Feng, a spokesperson and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that the “13th Five-Year” development plan for the information and communication industry has made arrangements for the development of the industry in the next five years, and will continue to push the network to speed up and reduce fees in the future.

Analysts pointed out that with the mature coverage of 3G and 4G networks, the core package of operators has basically realized the long-term market integration, so it is reasonable to cancel the roaming charges.

The speed-up fee has been raised since the beginning of 2015 for two years. According to the information disclosed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 2016 has made new important progress in speeding up the fee reduction work:

The investment has exceeded 430 billion yuan, and all cities in the country have basically completed optical network cities. The proportion of fiber-optic broadband users has reached 72%, 4G users have exceeded 700 million, three new Internet backbones have been added, and the bandwidth between networks has been expanded by 950G.

Among them, the national fixed broadband average access rate reached twice the end of 2015, and the fixed broadband unit bandwidth and mobile traffic average tariff levels further declined.

Take China Telecom as an example. Last year, the cable broadband and mobile phone traffic tariffs were greatly adjusted, and long-distance roaming charges were gradually eliminated. For example, for the public below 4M, the government and enterprise 8M users are free to speed up; the average unit price of mobile Internet has dropped by 57.4% in two years, from the original 0.12 yuan/MB to the current 0.05 yuan/MB; the average price of cable broadband has dropped by 81% in two years. From the original 4.9 yuan / Mbps to the current 0.9 yuan / Mbps.

At the China Telecom external communication meeting yesterday, Yang Jie, chairman of China Telecom, said that with the development of the network, the increase of users will inevitably bring many service problems. This is also the normal development of the industry. China Telecom will step up efforts to promote related services. In particular, continue to speed up the fee reduction.

In the reduction of fees, when to cancel long-distance roaming fees has always been a topic of concern to the industry and even users. In August last year, the three major operators announced relevant timetables and gradually promoted national integrated tariffs. This means canceling long-distance roaming charges, and all three major operators are on the agenda.

Judging from the situation of Tencent Technology, the three major operators' core master packages have cancelled long-distance roaming charges and implemented nationwide unified billing. However, in the process of promotion, due to the different scales of users, there are still some long-distance roaming charges for users on the Internet. On the whole, the three companies are expected to cancel the fees completely before the end of this year.

In terms of the unit price of another tariff, the current three major operators have not yet given specific plans and targets. According to industry insiders, with the increase and trend of traffic revenue, mobile Internet access is the focus of this year's fee reduction, and operators need to wait for specific instructions from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Local packages still have roaming charges

Although the three major operators announced plans to phase out roaming charges before the end of the year last year, as of now, some areas still have long-distance roaming charges.

As early as 4 years ago, when China Unicom pushed 3G services, it had already had a nationwide fee system, that is, mainstream packages have cancelled long-distance roaming. China Unicom has said that only 4% of users still have long-distance roaming. China Telecom last year introduced a full flow meter fee (voice, SMS equivalent for unified billing of traffic), China Mobile is also implementing a national integrated tariff, which has now canceled some long-distance roaming charges for packages.

However, from the actual situation, some branches have launched local packages in the name of promotion, and the package will still charge long-distance roaming charges.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of China Telecom told Tencent Technology that since the beginning of last year, long-distance roaming fees have been cancelled. Up to now, more than 60% of users have no longer charged the fee. Other local packages still exist, mainly for different regions. Set with vertical user requirements.

For example, there is a 18-month monthly local free-to-play package launched by the operator for the campus student group. After the local area is exceeded, a long-distance roaming fee is required.

"For some local economic consumption and user habits, the local package can be well satisfied, but also take care of some old users' old packages. The new users have all been in accordance with the national unified tariff package. This year, the old users will be upgraded to a unified tariff. To achieve free domestic calls, the long-term exchange price," the source said.

However, the customer bills reflected by the people still show long-distance and roaming charges. Operators said that domestic long-distance and roaming expenses still exist, but the rate has changed.

At present, the long-distance roaming charges of the respective operators of the three major operators are gradually being cancelled, but there is still no timetable for when the long-distance roaming charges across the network are cancelled. In general, long-distance roaming charges are an outdated billing method for basic telecommunications services in the voice era. In the transformation of telecom operators' own business, elimination is inevitable.

Traffic into the carrier's competition focus this year

For the three major operators, Changshi Man's integrated tariff strategy will change its income structure in the short term, and can realize the same tariff standards for long-distance, local calls and roaming charges nationwide, which is the essence of “speed-up and fee reduction”. Sexual initiatives are also the only way for corporate strategic transformation.

Because of the cancellation of long-distance roaming charges, operators are often adopting new package policies to draw more 2G and 3G old users to 4G, which is in line with the current trend of traffic revenue becoming the main source of operators, and this year's traffic competition will be even more fierce.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently released the communication industry data during the 2017 Spring Festival (January 27-February 2). The consumption of mobile Internet traffic has doubled in 2016, and the traditional short-message letter and telephone dating method have dropped significantly.

It is understood that in order to seize the second card slot of user mobile phones, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are competing to launch a batch of traffic tariff cards. Among them, China Unicom has successively launched Tencent's “Dawang Card” and “Xiaowang Card”, and the ants “Dabao Card” and “Xiaobao Card” have attracted a lot of attention from mobile phone users. In terms of telecommunications, it took the lead in launching the “Super Cat Card” to seize the market. Mobiles that are unwilling to lag behind have also launched a "Tianwang Card" recently, which only needs 48 yuan per month, and can enjoy 4G provincial traffic and 1000 minutes of local intranet calls.

As video streaming, live streaming, music streaming, and other applications and services that consume huge amounts of data become more popular, the demand for data traffic is growing, and this is the focus of future competition for operators.

Not long after, following US carriers Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, AT&T also opened its unlimited traffic packages to all users. At present, the three major operators in China have not launched related services.

Nowadays, traffic consumption has become the main source of revenue for operators. In 2017, with the further increase in speed reduction, unlimited traffic cards and free broadband will become mainstream.
