According to china's deputy minister of industry and information technology, liu yeung, the average cost of china's fixed broadband unit bandwidth and mobile network traffic fell by more than 95 per cent over five years. The average cost of broadband and bandwidth in enterprises has been reduced by more than 70 per cent, and the cost reduction initiatives have benefited more than 1 billion users annually, yielding more than 700 billion yuan。
On 19 april, the press office of the state council of china held a routine briefing on state council policy in beijing, where it provided information on the internet's policy of speeding down fees and responded to journalists. The deputy minister of industry and information technology of china, liu liang, presented the meeting and noted that over the past five years, china had reduced the average cost of fixed broadband bandwidth and mobile network traffic by over 95 per cent.

At a routine briefing on state council policy held the same day, liu liang said that since the second half of 2020, the average cost of mobile network unit traffic in china has fallen by more than 10 per cent. According to the global mobile communications association (gsma), china's average monthly expenditure for mobile communications users (arpu) is $5. 94, which is below the global average of $11. 36。
In 2021, china will continue to implement net-precision fees. For small and medium-sized enterprise users, the average cost of broadband and specialty is reduced by a further 10 per cent, and basic telecommunications enterprises are promoted to reach rural poor households and continue to discount 50 per cent of the cost of basic communication services。
In terms of hong kong/australian communications roaming fees, the average cost of hong kong/australian traffic roaming in 2019 was more than 30 per cent lower than in 2018 and a further 10 per cent lower than in 2019 in 2020, integrating capital costs within the great bay region and providing universal voice and flow. “at the next step, our department will continue to contribute to the reduction of the qin hong kong communications rover fee”, liu yulin, head of the information and communication development department of the ministry of industry and informatics。
Over the past five years, the speed of the network has also yielded significant results. At present, china's fixed broadband and mobile network end-to-end user experience rates reach 51. 2 mbps and 33. 8 mbps, respectively, an increase of about seven times over five years ago。
According to the international speed measuring agency, china ranks 18th out of 176 countries and territories globally in fixed broadband rates and 4th out of 139 countries and territories worldwide in mobile network rates。
China's rural network coverage improved significantly during the “13th fiveth”. At present, the ratio of fibre-optics and 4g in china's administrative villages is more than 99 per cent, and the average download rate of fibre-optic pilot villages has been tested to be more than 100 mb/s, largely achieving a “net-to-net co-opt” in rural cities and a significant reduction in the urban-rural “digital divide”。
The development of the twin gigabytes network is the first task of the network's work this year. Liu liang indicated that it was planned to take about three years to build a “two gigabytes” of network infrastructure that would cover urban areas and rural communities in condition, and to achieve universal “gang-to-house” capacity for fixed and mobile networks.
