The United States, China's flow rates are more expensive? -Speed drop, flow rates-IT information
Statistics showed that after years of speed reduction, domestic Telecom tariff level has been lower than that of developed countries . But there is still a view, domestic telecommunication tariffs, while low in absolute terms, but the per capita gross national income (GNI) ratio was still high. In other words, rates really low, but relative to the people's daily income, also is high in China. Really the truth?
According to investigative journalism, in recent years, in order to facilitate the rapid development of the information industry in China in support of "Internet +" strategy implemented, China's telecommunications industry continues to increase investment in infrastructure at the same time, has made tremendous efforts in reducing tariff. China Mobile, for example, current flow charges both absolute and in percentage of GNI per capita, than the United States and other major developed countries lower or little changed.
Flow rates: at global level
From the latest operator ARPU (average revenue per user) data, in 2015, China Mobile's ARPU for 56, 0.1% per cent of GNI per capita, United States AT&T, and Verizon, and Japan operators such as Docomo was flat. (Figure below)
According to the ITU (ITU) measuring the information society report, 2015 2014 mobile flow rates declined significantly in China, 500MB fee of only $ 4.88, average tariffs of developed and the vast majority of developing countries are higher than the US $ 15. In 164 countries and regions around the world, 151 countries and regions of the flow rates higher than in China, only 12 developing countries than China.
From the mobile flow rates as a proportion of per capita GNI in 2014, this ratio is 0.89%, 121th in 164 countries and regions (from high to low, sorted after the lower the tariff); United States 1.47%, 65% higher than the Chinese, ranked 97th. The National Bureau of statistics showed that in 2015, China's per capita disposable income than they did 10 years ago 165%, and unit price of mobile data traffic was 97.3% lower than 10 years ago, mobile communications consumer expenditure as a share of income than the rate of decline has exceeded our expectations.
In 2015 the ITU data has not yet been released, but it can be foreseen that, after a year of "speed drop" in 2015, China's per capita flow rates expenditure as a percentage of national income will be lower. Increased gradually with the upgrading of technology, Internet, network charges have continued to decline in the future space.
Rates declining at the same time, many users complain that there are no obvious feeling. In fact, along with the rapid development of the mobile Internet, the flow of people rising consumer demand, and to a large extent, offset the effect of carrier units and cut. Can be found from real data, China's mobile traffic charges not only lower than that of developed countries in absolute terms, in percentage of GNI per capita is also in low level in the world. Communication charges high has become the communication era has just started the long history.
From China Mobile's data shows that in 2015, China Mobile, a mobile Internet average tariff levels lower than in 2014 43%, exceeding the Ministry set up fee 30% drop goal.
It is understood that China Mobile launched in 2015, eight traffic fee reduction initiative, reducing the threshold for a 4G plan, plus packages remaining traffic month non-zero measure, gained a total of 530 million customers, covering more than 80% to a customer as a whole.
Speed reduction when fees
Although has carried out several rounds of speed reduction, but popularity undiminished, speed reduction is still in progress.
When it comes to acceleration in 2016, three major domestic carriers are continuously enhancing 4G network coverage, increase investment in transmission networks, while increasing the Internet carrying capacity and speed of dredging, expanding the Internet bandwidth, improve data-carrying capacity of mobile communication networks.
When it comes to reducing fees, China Mobile 2016 plan covers all customers of fee reduction scheme was introduced, to further stimulate mobile Internet consumption increase. Will continue to promote existing initiatives on the one hand, expanding the speed drop coverage for eight measures, strive to override more than 300 million customers at the end of 2016, the end of 2015 more than 1 time. Meanwhile, China Mobile will simplify the tariff structure, reducing the threshold of preferences and standards: a unified package of integration is a long, diffuse threshold plunged to 18 Yuan, broader range of customers; the second is reduced flow standard tariff, and continue to implement the remaining months packages flow month is not zero service.
At the end of 2016 1, China Mobile's standard tariff/MB/MB from 1 per cent to 0.29 Yuan to the benefit of all flow of customers. In addition, China Mobile will also continue optimization of existing 1/2/3, flow 3/6/9 packages 3MB and 30/60/90 Yuan package based on the day of, continue to increase the intensity of negotiations on the most important points, and continue to reduce international roaming tariffs, with a focus on promoting "along the way" direction of tariff cuts to support national "going out" strategy.
Next, from the national to the operators will continue to promote the speed drop, various trades and every ordinary consumers can more easily feel the era of network facilities and fun.
对标美国，中国流量资费有多贵？ - 提速降费,流量资费 - IT资讯
数据统计显示，经过数年提速降价，国内电信资费水平已经低于主要发达国家。但仍有观点认为，国内电信资费绝对值虽然低，但占人均国民总收入（GNI）的比例仍然很高。也就是说，资费确实低了，但相对于人们的日常收入而言，还是中国偏高。事实果真如此吗？
据记者调查，近年来，为了推动国内信息产业快速发展，支持“互联网+”战略落到实处，中国的电信行业在不断加大基础设施投资的同时，在降低资费方面做出了巨大努力。以中国移动为例，目前我国流量资费无论是绝对值还是在人均GNI中的占比，都已经比美国等主要发达国家要低或基本持平。
流量资费：已处于全球低水平
从最新的运营商ARPU值（每用户平均收入）数据来看，2015年中国移动的ARPU为56元，约占人均GNI的0.1%，与美国AT&T、Verizon、日本Docomo等运营商已基本持平。（下图）
根据国际电联（ITU）2015年发布的《衡量信息社会报告》，2014年中国的移动流量资费下降显著，500MB流量资费仅为4.88美元，发达国家和绝大多数发展中国家的平均资费都高于15美元。在全球164个国家和地区市场中，有151个国家和地区的流量资费比中国高，只有12个发展中国家低于中国。
从移动流量资费占人均GNI的比例来看，2014年中国的这个比例为0.89%，在164个国家和地区中名列第121名(由高到低排序，排序越后资费越低)；美国则为1.47%，比中国高65%，位列第97名。国家统计局的数据显示，2015年我国人均可支配收入比10年前提升了165%，而移动数据流量单价较10年前下降了97.3%，移动通信消费支出在人们收入中的占比下降速度超出了我们的预期。
2015年的ITU数据尚未出炉，但可以预见的是，经过一年的"提速降费"，2015年我国人均流量资费支出占国民收入的比重将进一步走低。随着技术的升级换代、网民规模的逐步提升，今后我国的网络资费还有继续下降的空间。
资费在不断下降的同时，很多用户抱怨没有明显的感受。实际上，因为伴随移动互联网的高速发展，人们的流量消费需求不断上涨，于是在很大程度上抵消了运营商单位流量降价措施的效果。从实实在在的数据对比中可以发现，中国的移动流量资费不但绝对值比发达国家低，在人均GNI中的占比也处于全球较低水平。通信资费高已经成为中国通信事业刚刚起步年代的久远历史了。
来自中国移动的数据显示，2015年，仅中国移动一家的手机上网平均资费水平就比2014年下降了43%，超额完成了工信部设定的资费下降30%的目标。
据了解，中国移动在2015年推出了八项流量降费举措，降低了4G套餐门槛，加上套餐剩余流量当月不清零等措施，共有5.3亿客户得到了实惠，整体覆盖超过80%的流量客户。
提速降费进行时
虽然已经进行了多轮提速降费，但热度丝毫未减，提速降费依然是进行时。
说到提速，2016年国内三大运营商都在持续增强4G网络覆盖，加大传输网领域的投资，同时提升互联网承载能力和疏通速度，扩容国际互联网出口带宽，全方位提升移动通信网络的数据承载能力。
说到降费，中国移动2016年计划推出覆盖所有流量客户的降费计划，以此拉动移动互联网消费的进一步提升。一方面会继续推进现有举措，扩大提速降费八项举措的覆盖范围，力争在2016年底覆盖3亿以上的客户，比2015年底增加一倍以上。另一方面，中国移动将简化资费结构、降低优惠门槛和标准：一是将长市漫一体化的统一套餐门槛大幅降至18元，惠及更多客户；二是下调流量标准资费，并继续实施月套餐剩余流量当月不清零服务。
在2016年1季度底前，中国移动的流量标准资费从1元/MB降至0.29元/MB，惠及全部流量客户。此外，中国移动还将在持续优化现有语音1/2/3元区、流量3/6/9元包3MB及30/60/90元包天的基础上，继续加大重点方向的谈判力度，持续降低国际漫游资费，重点推动“一带一路”方向的资费下调，支持国家“走出去”战略。
未来，从国家到运营商都将继续推动提速降费，让各行各业每一个普通消费者都能更加轻松地感受网络时代的便利和乐趣。
