Local wide-resistance flexible fiber-to-the-home triple-play convergence relapse

Recently, Weibo netizens disclosed that Guang'an Radio and Television senior officials “brought an impact” to the fiber-to-the-home market stalls of China Telecom (microblogging). Informed sources pointed out that the conflict between the two parties focuses on the local telecom e169 publicity business, which may touch the radio and television business.

On January 19, Sichuan Broadcasting and Television Network Guang'an Branch launched a cable on its Internet in the non-tried area of ​​"Tri-network convergence" (Guang'an City) without obtaining a license for the transmission of cable radio and television services for China Telecom Guang'an Branch. The broadcast television service (ie IPTV or ITV service) announces.

Previously, Mianyang City and Chengdu City in Sichuan Province were listed as the first and second batch of pilot cities for triple play in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Surprisingly, according to a streaming media report on December 29th, 2011, netizens were quoted as saying: “The local radio and television company of Mianyang, the first pilot city of the triple play, openly announced on the TV that the local IPTV service launched by Mianyang Telecom was false. "Propaganda, illegal activities," "prompting content display, triple play is not a convergence of three networks, and it is said that the full implementation of the three networks integration, interactive television free to see the business promotion is illegal, false, spearhead alleged Mianyang Telecom's IPTV."

It can be seen that even within the scope permitted by the Tri-Network Convergence Pilot Program, China Telecom’s IPTV service has been in a state of “stopping”. Some experts pointed out that “stopping” means that Radio and TV is more advantageous in terms of funding, technology, and manpower. The means used by telecommunications.

On February 16, 2011, China Telecom officially launched the "Broadband China Optical Network City" project. China Telecom's Broadband China Project proposed that in the next 3-5 years, the access bandwidth of China Telecom broadband users will jump more than 10 times. , and will continue to increase rapidly; tariffs usher in the "jumping period" in about 3 years, and will continue to decline. Cities in the south will be fully fiber-optic, and all core cities will have fiber access. The maximum access bandwidth will reach 100M, and the access bandwidth of urban households will generally exceed 20M.

Less than ten days after China Telecom announced its broadband strategy, media reports pointed out that the Center for Informatization Research of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences proposed the fifth telecommunications reform program: splitting the data center services of China Telecom and China Unicom. The whole package was incorporated into Radio and Television, which was merged with China Cable TV Network Company, together with the video content business of Radio and TV, and jointly established the National Radio and TV Network Group Corporation. Later at the end of the year, the National Development and Reform Commission initiated an anti-monopoly investigation of China Telecom and China Unicom on broadband access and inter-network settlement and interconnection.

Experts pointed out that China Telecom’s “Broadband China Optical Network City” project has become another fuse for the integration of radio and television and telecommunications intensifying the competition for triple play, because the broadcasting and TV industry has been leading NGB for many years and hopes to infiltrate the telecommunication operators. Traditional fields. Recently, there have also been media reports that China Mobile (microblogging) may take a stake in China Communications to develop CMMB, which makes isolated radio and television systems add more voice in the triple play.
